How much to change number plate to Spanish and how do you go about it

Are you talking about a license plate for a vehicle? Where do you live and what are you changing it from, English?

Thanks for your response I hope to move to Spain a place called Casteldeferro. I have 2 dogs so I need to take my car. I have spoken to a friend in the villiage who tells me that they are getting strict with English plates and charge you 200euros to trash your car. He didn`t know how to change the plates but pointed out that it would be difficult if you had an accident in Spain as you can`t insure an English registered car there and the English insurance will only cover for a holiday type of period.

Where do you live now? If you are moving there why not register and insure it there?

Do you mean Castell de Ferro, Spain, not far from Gibraltar? Beautiful area!

In Answer to the question where is the castel de ferro I have a house in It is between Malaga and Almeria on the coast and also a direct line down from Granada. The other answer to the question why don`t I register the car when I get there. I have already gained a little knowledge from surfing the net and I know you get charged a 12% import tax also they measure it (I don`t know why) before MOT or in Spain ITV. What I don`t know is where you go to do this, and the total cost. I need to weigh up which is the cheaper option. Trashing the car there and paying 200euros for the privilege and buying a Spanish car. Or changing the number plates over.

Don't listen to the bar-room lawyers. Of course you can get insurance for a english registered car in spain, there are plenty of companies offering insurance

Yes you can get insurance on a english reg car and I changed to spanish plates 4year ago and was charged approx 1000euro,yes he did measure the car and I also had to change the headlights

All EU reg cars MUST be road legal in the country of registration to be used in Spain including MoT and UK insurance, Spanish insurance or ITV on a UK car is NOT valide nor is there a six month change over period any more.
