What is the deadline for car registration and how much does it cost?
To obtain a vehicle sales declaration, the buyer must register within 60 days of concluding the contract. If you register your car in person, at the IRN or at a Citizen’s Store, you will have to pay €65. If you do it via Automóvel Online the cost will be €55.30.
What happens if the buyer does not register the property within 60 days?
When the buyer registers 60 days after the date of the sale, he will have to pay a penalty equal to the fee. Meaning what:
- €130 (€65+€65) if registration is done in person;
- €120.30 (€55.30+€65), if done online.
If registration is not carried out, the seller will continue to be required to pay the Single Car Tax. Why? Because the car remains in your name. You can also be informed, for example, of traffic violations and unpaid tolls.
For these situations, the «special procedure for registering ownership of vehicles acquired through a verbal sales contract» has been established, pursuant to Legislative Decree 177/2014. This allows the seller to register the property in favor of its current owner.
For this purpose it is necessary to present documents certifying the purchase and sale, such as invoices, receipts, cash sales or other settlement documents, which include the vehicle registration number, the name and address of the seller and the buyer. Furthermore, it is important that the seller has a copy of the vehicle registration application used as a declaration of sale of the vehicle.
As for costs, €75 if you order in person or €63.75 if you order online. The buyer is notified and has 15 days to file an objection, dispute some mentions or regularize the situation. If the new owner requests the registration card, he will have to pay €95 (in person) or €80.75 (online).
What about car insurance?
