DGT VEHICLE REPORT (INFORME VEHICULO) – €15
If you want to check a car before you buy it then a vehicle report (informe vehiculo) is advised. This report can give you a lot of information about the vehicle helping you make an informed decision.
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.
- If the Vehicle is Roadworthy
- Unpaid Road Taxes
- Has Valid ITV
- Has Embargoes (debts)
- Recorded as Off-Road
BAJA/ALTA (VEHICLE REGISTRATION/DE-REGISTRATION) €55
We can de-register your vehicle to export to a different country (baja por exportación) or temporarily (baja temporal) if you are not going to use it for a while. This ensures it will not be impounded and exempts you from paying road tax (IVTM). We can also re-register it if needed.

- Temporary De-registration
- Re-registration of a Vehicle (alta)
- Vintage or Historical Vehicles
SALE NOTIFICATION (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.
