Spanish term

automatriculaciones

Spanish to English Other Automotive / Cars & Trucks
Hey guys, I would like to know if there is a term in English for "automatriculaciones".

Context: "El fenómeno de las automatriculaciones se debe a la necesidad de un concesionario de matricular turismos que no han sido reservados previamente por sus clientes. Un concesionario puede necesitar matricular un turismo por diferentes razones, desde ofrecer un coche de sustitución a su cliente, hasta disponer de vehículos con los que ofrecer pruebas y otro tipo de demostraciones."

Thanks in advance!

automobile registration/s

I think the auto part most likely refers to automobiles (= motor vehicle registration) rather than anything "self-" or "automatic"...

On the other hand, it may mean "dealership self-registration of vehicles", which would be my second option.

In the second case, it is also known as "pre-registration" , "self registration" or "dealership registration"...

Example sentence:

The purpose of motor vehicle registration is to establish a link between a vehicle and an owner or user of the vehicle.

agree Marie Wilson : I agree with the second part of your answer: registration by dealers.

Well, it had to be either/or ... I usually just post the first thing that comes into my head and then work backwards from there :-)
agree Helena Chavarria : Yes, I think it means dealers register their own cars. No one has actually bought the vehicle.

I think I prefer "pre-registration" now...
