Main characteristics of the Spanish vehicle register:
- In Spain a license plate is registered to a vehicle. This means that if the holder of a vehicle changes, the
license plate stays the same. The new holder can request for a re-license of the vehicle, but these
cases are rare. - The old kind of license plates contains a provincial code, but the current kind of licenses plates do not
have this code. If a vehicle has a license plate with a provincial code, the new holder can maintain the
license plate or he can re-license the vehicle, but this rarely happens. - Spain will give owner data in a few cases. Owner data will only be given when a vehicle was left by the
holder at an establishment for sale and had run down for sale. In the rest of cases, Spain will not give
any owner data. - The vehicle data shown will always be current. However, Spain will give error “111. Information not
disclosed” if the vehicle is stolen, scrapped, the plate is stolen or outdated, on reference date-time. - The owner/holderinformation shown will be in general the current data or the last data known. Error
111 will be displayed if the reference date/time data refers to a previous holder. Before the end of
year 2014, the Spanish application will be able to display historical data. - The following vehicles are stored in the Spanish register: cars, trailers, trucks, vans, buses,
motorcycles, special vehicles (agricultural vehicles, work vehicles, firefighters vehicles…). - The following types of license plates are stored in the Spanish register: normal (taxis also use normal
plates), trailer, touristic, temporary, historic, special vehicles.
