Where to Print the Electric Scooter License Plate
No, the electric scooter registration cannot be printed at home. It's a common mistake: the VMP registration is processed online at the DGT electronic headquarters and then the approved physical label is purchased — it's not a PDF that you download and print with your own printer.
What is the VMP registration?
The VMP registration (Personal Mobility Vehicle) is the mandatory official identification for electric scooters in Spain since January 2026. It consists of a unique alphanumeric code, similar to that of a motorcycle, which is requested from the DGT and placed visibly on the scooter.
How to process it step by step
The procedure is done 100% online, there's no need to visit any office.
It's the same system used for other procedures with the public administration.
Brand, model and basic technical characteristics of the vehicle.
The cost is €8.67 (DGT, 2026). Payment is made in the same online process.
The DGT assigns you the identifier. With that code you can buy the approved physical label.
How much does it cost in total
Approved physical label: from €12
Approximate total: from €20.67
Riding without the visible registration can result in a €200 fine (DGT, 2026) — the cost of the procedure is low compared to the risk of a penalty.
Where to buy the physical registration
Once you've completed the procedure and obtained the code, you need the approved physical plate with that code printed on it. This is an option available on Amazon:

VERDICT
The procedure is simple, but not immediate
Processing the VMP registration is quick and cheap — €8.67 and a few minutes online. What you can't do is print it at home: you have to wait for the code and buy the approved plate.
Once you have the registration, you need something that holds it securely to the scooter without it moving or getting damaged by rain.
