This was to get Spanish licence plates, to do the importación as everyone referred to it. The last milestone in the process that dragged for months. I requested it in July but then it froze for 2 months like August sales of heating stoves. “Drive to lane 1 and they will recognize you” were the instructions I received beforehand.
