In the buying and selling of used cars, one of the most important steps is the transfer of ownership. But did you know you no longer need to queue at the traffic office? Thanks to digitalisation, you can now manage everything online. In this article we explain how the digital process works: what options you have, what you need and what advantages it offers for a professional dealership.
What is digital transfer of ownership?
Digital transfer of ownership is the online version of the process by which a vehicle changes owner. The Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) allows it to be done without attending in person, provided you have the appropriate means: electronic signature, payment of fees, and in many cases, support from an agency or digital provider.
3 ways to manage digital transfer of ownership
1. Through the DGT portal
Requirements:
Digital certificate or Cl@ve.
Proof of payment of the transfer tax (form 620/621).
Sales contract.
Payment of the fee (€55.70).
Advantages:
Economical (you only pay the fee).
Disadvantages:
Not agile for professionals.
It can take a lot of time if you handle many transactions a month.
2. Through a traditional agency
Advantages:
They take care of everything.
Ideal if you don't have a digital certificate or time.
Disadvantages:
Additional cost (from €80 to €150 per transaction).
They are not always automated or digitalised.
3. Through a platform with an API connected to the DGT (such as Dealcar)
Advantages:
Everything digital and in just a few clicks.
Direct integration with the DGT and agencies.
Ideal for dealerships that carry out many transactions.
Disadvantages:
You only need to register and upload documents once.
Documentation required for the digital process
Document | Who provides it |
|---|---|
Sales contract | Buyer and seller |
Proof of ITP payment (form 620) | Buyer |
Buyer’s ID/NIE | Buyer |
Vehicle registration certificate | Seller |
Technical data sheet (MOT) | Seller |
In transactions between dealerships or companies, the type of fiscal document required may vary.
Advantages of automating the transfer of ownership
Time savings: You avoid travel and queues.
Fewer errors: The system validates the data before sending.
Real-time tracking: You can see the status of each process.
Scalability: Ideal if you sell 5 or more cars a month.
Conclusion: professionalise your document management
