Who can rematriculate my Spanish car?
Have just moved to Silves area from Spain and need to rematriculate my car. Can anyone recommend a company/agency to do this for me? Thanks. John.

Rematriculation of vehicles - one of the many negatives about Portuguese life - along with incompetent auctioneers and expensive golf!
I have a 22 year-old BMW in perfect working order. Passes the MOT/NCT in Portugal every year without any problem, but it's German registered. To matriculate it would cost me about €5,000 but despite its perfect condition its market value is, maybe, €500!

I'd happily pay €5000, my problem is I don't know WHO to pay. Any suggestions regarding a possible agency who can do the hideously complex paperwork?

I'm in Lagos and know where to go here to do this process. I'm guessing it's an agency appointed by the local authority and there should be one on every town or city.

If you ask in the local authority or any garage or tourist office or police station they should be able to help you.

Thanks for the suggestions, Jazz. Hopefully one of these leads will come up trumps.
Try Ricardo at [email protected] - he deals with all bureaucratic matters in particular car matriculation, driving licences, residency etc. it’s a small company based in Lagoa, a partnership of him and his mother Grace.

Thank you again Pat. Friendly English-speaking Ricardo and Grace in Lagoa have outwitted Portuguese bureaucracy and done everything for me rapidly and efficiently and now my Spanish car is Portuguese 😁 They have also organised a new driving licence, road tax, and prepared the paperwork to present for new insurance. Great service!
