Pink License Plates in Mallorca: Guide and Reality Check for Drivers

Answer

Why is Spain introducing pink plates for cars?

The idea is to make vehicles with incomplete registration easier to identify. That can help police and inspectors spot cars that are still in a temporary status, and it may also support efforts to reduce document fraud. In Mallorca, where cars often move between dealers, transporters, and private buyers, that visibility can be useful.
