Non resident - car purchased in Spain - how to register?
Hi guys,
To cut a long story short.
I own a small apartment in Malaga, but I’m rarely out there ( work work work) instead my dad spends much of his time there.
He bought a car last week, tried to register it but they wanted proof of address, and asked for deeds, he had to fly home the next day so never got any further.
Potential issues I’m hoping someone can advise on.
My father has an NIE number, is that linked to a property and can be used as proof of address?
Property Deeds are in my name, so I don’t see how he can use these as proof of address?
I believe car must be registered in 28 days? I will not be in Spain within this period to register in my name, so it has to be done in my father’s.
The seller of the car said there was still insurance on the car, and it wouldn’t be cancelled and it would continue for us to use for 6 months - is this the case and how do we check it is legitimate, this is obviously very different to the system we have in ireland.
Best regards
