Frequently asked questions
I have a UK V5C. Do I still need a Reduced Technical Data Sheet?
A V5C or any other foreign registration document does not list every technical parameter the Spanish ITV needs. The Ficha Técnica Reducida compiles dimensions, axle weights, emissions standard and type approval data in line with RD 750/2010.
Do I need to bring the vehicle anywhere to get it?
No. You send photos of the vehicle and its documents online, and a chartered engineer prepares and digitally signs the sheet. You then present it at the ITV station.
Which vehicles do you cover?
Cars, motorcycles, vans, caravans and motorhomes imported from the UK or the EU, as well as classic and historic vehicles.
How long does it take and what does it cost?
24 to 48 hours. From €50 + VAT; if your case is more complex, we send a quote before starting.

Have You Been Asked for a Reduced Technical Data Sheet at the ITV?
Navigating Spanish bureaucracy when registering an imported car or completing a vehicle inspection can feel daunting. Here is everything you need to know about the official "Ficha Técnica Reducida" in Spain.
What is a Reduced Technical Sheet?
The Ficha Técnica Reducida (Reduced Technical Data Sheet) is an official legal certificate signed by a registered Collegiate Industrial Engineer in Spain. It compiles all technical parameters of your vehicle according to Royal Decree RD 750/2010.
Unlike the standard logbook or registration document from your home country, this document details exact dimensions, axle weights, displacement, emissions standard (Euro 4, 5, 6), noise levels, and official European Type Approval codes (e-mark / EC Certificate of Conformity).
Relocating to Spain for Work or Retirement
Moving to Spain permanently is an exciting life change. Whether you are retiring to the Costa del Sol, Alicante, or relocating to Madrid for business, bringing your personal car or motorcycle with you is often the most cost-effective option.
When changing residence (Cambio de Residencia), Spanish authorities require an inspection at an official ITV station before issuing Spanish license plates. The ITV inspector requires a signed Reduced Technical Sheet to verify that your vehicle satisfies all Spanish safety and technical regulations.
Importing Cars from the UK & EU
If you bought a vehicle in the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, or elsewhere in the EU, you must pass a registration ITV (ITV de Matriculación).
Our engineering office specializes in reviewing European V5C logbooks, German Fahrzeugbriefs, and French Cartes Grises to cross-examine chassis specifications. We ensure your right-hand drive or European vehicle has every parameter correctly documented for seamless inspection approval.

Vehicle Registration in Spain: Official Reduced Data Sheet
Registering an imported vehicle in Spain (from the UK, Germany, France, Netherlands or any other country) requires passing a mandatory import inspection at an official Spanish technical center (ITV). In accordance with Royal Decree RD 750/2010, standard foreign registration documents are not sufficient; the inspection body requires an official Ficha Técnica Reducida signed by a certified Spanish collegiate engineer.
Our engineering consultancy specializes in translating and certifying all technical specifications according to Spanish vehicle administration (DGT) criteria, including European Type-Approval codes, axle loads, engine specifications, approved tyre equivalents, and CO2 emissions.
