Vehicle registration in Mallorca
Do you want to use your car on the island? Then there is no way around the vehicle registration in Mallorca. Driving with foreign plates can quickly become expensive, especially as checks by the authorities are increasing. To avoid trouble and fines, it is therefore worth tackling the registration early. We also take care of everything, so you can drive with peace of mind.
When is vehicle registration in Mallorca mandatory?
You have to register your vehicle if you:
- move your residence to Mallorca
- work here or run a business
- do your schooling on the island
- own a holiday property and park or drive your vehicle in Mallorca for more than 6 months
If any of these points applies to you, you should not wait long.
How long the registration takes
For ITV appointments (the Spanish equivalent of the German TÜV) in Mallorca, waiting times are currently two to eight months, depending on region and workload. Since the Consell de Mallorca changed the appointment allocation, processing times have also increased.
Don’t worry: we accompany you throughout the entire process and keep you up to date. Without early planning, however, the vehicle registration in Mallorca can be delayed considerably. We therefore recommend tackling it as early as possible, to avoid long standstill times and unnecessary stress.
Requirements: what you need
For the registration you only need two things.
A valid NIE number
Without it, the registration doesn’t work. You can read more on our page Apply for a NIE number.
