Answer

Is it risky to drive in Mallorca after moving there if my paperwork is not updated?

Yes, it can be risky if your driving licence, vehicle registration, or ITV status does not match your current situation in Spain. People often assume everything will still be accepted for a while, but that can create problems if they are checked by police. After moving to Mallorca, it is sensible to review all driving and vehicle documents as early as possible.
