Vehicle and Traffic Management Agency
At Gestoría del Mar we manage in an agile way and 100% online all the procedures related to your vehicle before the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT), the Traffic Headquarters and the regional tax agencies. We are a collegiate administrative agency, which allows us to issue professional circulation receipts immediately so that you do not have to stop your daily or commercial activity.
Vehicle Transfer and Name Change
The transfer of a vehicle (the change of ownership in the Vehicle Registry of the DGT) is a mandatory procedure that must be carried out within a maximum period of 30 days from the signing of the sales contract. This process requires notifying the DGT and previously paying the Property Transfer Tax (ITP) in the corresponding autonomous community. Relying on a registered management office ensures that the vehicle is free of encumbrances (fines, liens, or seizures) and avoids later surprises for both the buyer and the seller.
Benefits of our management:
Step-by-step procedure:
-
1. DGT Load Report
Obtaining the complete traffic report to ensure that the car can be transferred cleanly without liens, ownership reservations, or pending road tax (IVTM).
-
2. Settlement of the ITP
Tax calculation according to the official BOE valuation tables applicable to your autonomous community and immediate electronic payment.
-
3. Processing at the Traffic Department
Telematic submission of the complete file to the Provincial Traffic Headquarters through the Managers' Association platform.
-
4. Sending the Permit
We send the new original Circulation Permit to your home by certified mail and digitally in PDF format.

Registration of Historic Vehicles
The classification as a historic vehicle in Spain offers great advantages: exemption from road tax in many municipalities, less frequent inspections (up to every 4 years), affordable insurance, and permission to drive in Low Emission Zones (LEZ) in major cities under certain conditions. The new Spanish Historic Vehicle Regulation greatly simplifies the procedure for cars over 30 years old in original condition.

Step-by-step procedure:
-
1. Technical Report
Technical inspection in an Official Cataloging Laboratory or responsible declaration of originality.

Temporary Vehicle Disposal
Temporary deregistration is the ideal procedure if you are going to stop using your vehicle for a long period (for example, if you are going abroad, if you are trying to sell it, or if it is broken down and you are not going to repair it immediately). By temporarily deregistering the vehicle, you are exempt from paying the Traffic Tax (IVTM) to the city council and from keeping the mandatory insurance and the ITV up to date.
Benefits of our management:
Step-by-step procedure:
-
1. Application at DGT
Electronic submission of the request for temporary deregistration in the Vehicle Registry.

DGT Vehicle Reports
Before buying a second-hand vehicle from a private seller or dealership, it is crucial to obtain a Complete Report from the DGT. This public report details the identity of the current owner, the history of ITVs and mileage, up-to-date municipal taxes, and most importantly: the existence of liens, retention of title, mortgages, seizures, or seals that prevent its free sale.
Benefits of our management:
Step-by-step procedure:
-
1. Enrollment Application
Introduction of the license plate or rack number (VIN) on our platform.

Inheritances and Transmissions for Death
When the owner of a vehicle dies, his heirs must regularize its situation with the DGT. This is a complex procedure because it is divided into two phases: the provisional adjudication (custody of the vehicle until the inheritance is formalized) and the definitive transfer to the awarded heir after the settlement of the Inheritance and Donation Tax (ISD).
Benefits of our management:
Step-by-step procedure:
-
1. Provisional Custody
Notification of the death and temporary allocation of the vehicle to the person who will use it (period of 90 days from death).
