"Most cities in Spain now have Low Emission Zones or Zona de Bajas Emisiones (ZBEs) in Spanish. By January 1st 2026 even all towns with more than 50,000 inhabitants must have implemented them. It means that only vehicles with certain environmental labels can enter and circulated around many urban centres in Spain, in a bid to reduce pollution levels from older vehicles."
"This means there is no way to get a sticker for your car if you're bringing it from abroad. Importantly though, it doesn't necessarily mean that you can't drive in the ZBEs without one. If your vehicle is registered in Germany, Austria, Denmark, or France, it may be able to circulate freely in low emission zones Spain, as there are equivalent environmental stickers in these countries."
"You can check the equivalent stickers in these countries on these tables on the DGT website here. Even if you have the corresponding labels though, it's important you familiarise yourself with the municipal ordinances of each area where you intend to drive your foreign-registered car as some areas may be even more restrictive and require a different sticker, such as the B sticker for example."
Most Spanish cities operate Low Emission Zones (ZBEs), and by January 1, 2026 all towns with more than 50,000 inhabitants must have them. ZBEs allow only vehicles with specific environmental labels to enter and circulate in urban centres to reduce pollution from older vehicles. The Spanish General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) cannot issue environmental stickers to vehicles with foreign licence plates, so no Spanish sticker can be obtained for cars brought from abroad. Vehicles registered in Germany, Austria, Denmark or France may circulate using equivalent national stickers. Municipal ordinances can be stricter and may require different labels, so drivers should check DGT tables and local rules before driving.
