Who is considered the owner of a vehicle?
Basic concepts
Explanation
To understand who is considered the **owner of a vehicle**, it is important to know that this person is the one in whose name the vehicle is registered in the corresponding **official register**. This means that the owner is the legal responsible party for the vehicle and must always carry the documentation that accredits them as such. Additionally, the owner has the responsibility to ensure that only people with the appropriate driving license operate the vehicle.
The **circulation permit** is a key document that contains the owner's data, such as their name, surname, and address. It also includes information about the vehicle, such as the license plate number and its intended use. If there are changes in the owner's data or if the vehicle is sold, it is mandatory to report it to the Traffic Headquarters within a specified period.
Therefore, the vehicle owner is the person officially registered as the proprietor, and not necessarily the one who drives it regularly or who inspects it professionally.
