Must a light trailer with a MAM of 400 kg carry its own independent license plate separate from the towing vehicle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

To answer correctly, we must classify the trailer based on its Maximum Authorized Mass (MAM). Spanish regulations distinguish two types: Light trailers (MAM ≤ 750 kg): This applies to the 400 kg trailer in the question. These do not have their own license plate (red plate). They must only display the towing vehicle's license plate (white plate) at the rear and possess the Technical Inspection Sheet. They do not require a separate registration certificate or independent insurance. Non-light trailers (MAM 750 kg): These must be registered and carry their own license plate (red plate with reflective background and the letter R) on the left or center, in addition to the towing vehicle's plate on the right.
