Last summer, I didn't check on the legality of where I parked my car and subsequently in the day I got a parking fine.  Stupid boy! Paid it a few days later from a "cajero" and kept the receipt issued.

I now want to sell my car and need to know whether the Excmo. Ayuntamiento de Salobreña have deemed the fine to have been paid and that there is no subsequent encumbrance on my car. (Please forgive the lack of trust!)

Can this be done on-line through Tráfico or is there another method, please?

Hi Laury.

I trawled through the internet and came up with a couple of names. One was in Barcelona and the other in Marbella. I chose the latter! They are called Spence Clarke & Co. Their number is 952 822 943. Can't put a link in as I haven't made 10 posts yet (Tsk!)

Got some helpful and positive advice. Would suggest you give them a call to see if they meet your needs.

Saludos.

Hi Roberto.

...but an English one has your address on it whereas the Spanish one doesn't.

I was told by a friend of mine that England is the only EU driving licence which does have your address.

Just a piece of "throw away" information.

Methinks I'll now crawl back under my stone!

Thanks to Marksfish's comment which I found, I have had a question answered which one of my Spanish friends suggested I enquire about, viz. the laminated passport.

I presume I take a colour photocopy of the passport details page (why is it at the end?), take it to a notario who sploshes a big stamp all over it and then get it laminated? Right?

Pain in the neck really having to carry a passport about. In a few months it will look like something the dog brought up! Interesting to see the comment about the photo driving licence. Must try that.

I'm always slightly envious of the long-time expats who might still have the "Residencia" cards. However, I understand these will go when they have to renew?

By the way, when the shops look at the credit card and then the identification, what is it that they look for? That the name on the card and the profferred ID are the same? Or are they comparing the mugshot on the card with my own fizzog?

Saludos.

My wife and I are now residents of Spain.

But...I run my own company in the UK as a computer programmer and IT Trainer (sounds big but it's really only me 'n' 'twife). Pay my taxes there. Also have my accountant there who sorts everything out. He's done it for the last 20 years so know it inside-out. But is not familiar with Spanish tax system.

However, as I'm a resident here I'm now subjet to Spanish tax laws as well and would therefore like to know of an Asesor Fiscal (preferably in the Granada area but travelling is not a problem) who could advise on how to handle my financial affairs here. They should also have some knowledge of UK procedures. In other words, how to get the best from the system(s)

Can anyone help with this, please?

Saludos.
