Registrations is one of the topics in the Driving license and violations block of the Spanish DGT theory. The driving licence, the points system, the offences and their penalties. Understanding this section well helps you answer the theory-exam questions on this topic with confidence.
In simple terms, this point of the DGT theory establishes that 1. To put motor vehicles into circulation, as well as trailers with a maximum authorized mass greater than that established by regulations, they must be registered and bear license plates with the characters assigned to them in the manner established.
The licences-and-offences block is tested with exact data (points, deadlines, penalties): it pays to memorise the key figures.
- To put motor vehicles into circulation, as well as trailers with a maximum authorized mass greater than that established by regulations, they must be registered and bear license plates with the characters assigned to them in the manner established. This obligation will be required for mopeds under the terms established by regulations.
- Vehicles referred to in the previous section must be permanently registered in Spain when they are intended to be used in Spanish territory by individuals or entities residing in Spain or who own establishments located in Spain. The deadlines, requirements, and conditions for compliance with this obligation, as well as any possible exemptions, will be established by regulation.
- Ordinary registration will be unique for each vehicle, except in cases determined by regulations. When circumstances arise that may affect National Security, the Secretary of State for Security may authorize a new license plate different from the one initially assigned. These types of license plates will not be public in the General Vehicle Registry, and even in exceptional circumstances, assumed ownership may be used within the framework of the actions of the Law Enforcement Forces and Corps and the National Intelligence Center in legal transactions.
- In justified cases, the authority competent to issue the circulation permit may grant temporary and provisional circulation permits under the terms determined by regulations.
