A non-light trailer registered in Spain carries its own rear number plate and another showing the towing vehicle’s registration. Is carrying those two plates correct?

Correct answer

Yes, because one corresponds to the trailer itself and the other to the towing vehicle.

Yes. A trailer with MAM exceeding 750 kg must carry its own rear plate, vertical or nearly vertical and centred on its longitudinal median plane; it must also carry the towing vehicle’s registration on a plate on the right. Carrying only one is insufficient. The image shows a red own-registration plate and a towing-vehicle plate; vehicle identity and MAM are supplied by the text.
