Expat Services in Spain
We offer expat services in Malaga and Spain. With over 15 years experience, you can rely on us. We get things done!
Our fees are transparent, with no hidden costs.
We don’t change our fees according to how much we think a client can afford, as many gestors do.
(Don’t tell them we told you!)
If you need help with something you don’t see here, then WhatsApp us, or email us.
VEHICLES
Spanish car ownership transfers, vehicle reports, Spanish driving licence exchange, registrations/importations. Replacement vehicle documents, ITV service, de-registrations (baja), and much more.

€60 (Plus official fees/taxes)
We can transfer car ownership in Spain* totally remotely. We take care of all the paperwork and change ownership the same day. The new Permiso de Circulación is back in about a week.
All done online without trips to DGT.
*We cannot do it if the buyer lives in the Valencia Region (includes Costa Blanca, Alicante etc), Canary Islands, Melilla, or Ceuta.

From €625
We can register your car in Malaga & the Costa del Sol from another EU country. With contacts at ITV and Trafico, we take the stress out of the matriculation process. The Police are clamping down on foreign cars being driven in Spain - register your car as soon as possible. Prices start from €625 + taxes. PLEASE NOTE, WE ARE NO LONGER IMPORTING UK CARS.

(INFORME VEHICULO) €15
If you want to check a car before you buy it then a vehicle report (informe vehiculo) is advised.
It can save you time and money by letting you know if the vehicle is in a position to be transferred into your name. Also if there are any problems with the vehicle the seller may not have disclosed, such as fines, embargoes, financing etc. Get a DGT Vehicle report.

€150 (incl. taxes)
We can exchange a UK driving licence to a Spanish one without an appointment at DGT. We take care of all the paperwork and trips to Trafico without an appointment. We can also exchange driving licences from the EU/EEA.

Lost your vehicle documents? We can get a replacement Permiso de Circulación for you. We can also get a replacement Ficha Técnica if you had the new white-style sheet. This means your vehicle is newer than November 15th 2015.

We can deregister your vehicle to export to a different country (Baja Definitiva por Traslado a Otro País) or temporarily (baja temporal) if you are not going to use it for a while. This ensures you won't receive fines or have the vehicle impounded and exempts you from paying road tax (IVTM).
We can also re-register it if needed.

(NOTIFICACIÓN DE VENTA) €55
If you sell a car, it's advisable to make a sale notification. This is because it is getting more common for buyers not to transfer ownership. This leads to the seller being responsible for any fines, road taxes, embargoes etc that are incurred after the sale. We've had cases where registered owners have discovered their car wasn't transferred up to 3 years after the sale!


ADMIN & PAPERWORK
Help with paperwork such as: Expat health insurance, mortgage fees refund, digital nomad visa, autonomo, non-resident tax, NIE/TIE, digital certificates and other Spanish bureaucratic nightmares.

FREE consultation to check your eligibility.
Nearly 95% win rate for all cases up to now.

From €45/month
Expat health insurance, also known as "incoming insurance," is an excellent option for your initial years in Spain. It offers reliable and affordable coverage while meeting the legal requirements for securing your TIE card, visa, or temporary residence permit. Monthly payments. Cancel anytime, no questions asked.

Buying & selling in Malaga can be tricky. There are many dodgy estate agents and lawyers. We work with trusted colleagues to provide property lawyer services in Malaga for less than 0.9% of the sales price (negotiable). Contact us for more info and a free quote.

A digital certificate allows you to do online procedures with the Spanish Public Administration. You can pay taxes, make appointments, sign forms and documents electronically etc. It is an essential tool if you live in Spain or even have a property in Spain.

The Spanish Digital Nomad Visa enables non-EU citizens to work in Spain remotely. It also allows you to bring your spouse and children with you. It has various tax benefits and can lead to a 5 year residency permit. Up to 20% of your earned income can be with a Spanish company.

The law is constantly changing regarding residency. We have up to date information and can apply for you, even while you’re in the UK, speeding up the process and cutting out the stress of dealing with the Spanish bureaucratic system.

Marcel Ruijken2024-12-12 Found this service to help me change ownership of my first car in Spain. Super service! Its quite a paper tiger to overcome in Spain to get a car in your namen but they make it quick and easy. Thanks!! Declan Wynne2024-10-25 Excellent service. Great communication. Highly recommended Oscar Hill2024-09-24 I used to do my own transfers .but as it has become more complicated it is more covienient to have a cost effective ally to complete the paperwork .. and SEA is my go to place for assistance . Justyna Rys2024-09-22 Highly recommended! I bought a car and realised the procedure will require more time then I can dedicate considering I am working (bureaucracy here is a pain). I was a bit sceptical at the beginning since I am based Barcelona and wasn't sure how will that work. But all was resolved perfectly. They even provided me with an English speaking agent for car insurance. On top of that their offer was also better then the one offered in Barcelona. I will not think twice next time I need something. JANE THOMPSON2024-09-21 Del is all you need for anything administrative wise in Spain. Fast, efficient, helpful and extremely well priced. Our new car check and transfer was all sorted same day. It was the most stress free experience we have had in 20 years of living in Spain. We are fluent Spanish so language no problem for us but Del seems to have the magic touch when it comes to the authorities and paperwork. Thank you so much Del. You are a superstar. Jenny Turner2024-09-20 Amazing service. Received my VUT licence in 48 hours. 100% professional organisation. Friendly and straightforward to deal with. It would have taken me days to trawl through the Spanish system. Del immediately responded to my email enquiry and gave me clear instructions what paperwork he needed to process. Affordable invoice. Would certainly use again
