The receipt in which someone in Greece who takes money from a private person confirms it: who paid and who received, the sum in figures and words, what it was for, the date and method of payment, and whether it settles the whole debt or is paid on account, with the balance. A debtor who pays is entitled to a written receipt and, on paying the whole debt, to the return of the debt document (art. 424 of the Greek Civil Code). It goes with the loan agreement, the acknowledgment of debt and the settlement.

For the members of a Spanish limited company changing its director: Spanish minutes of the general meeting (all members present, or called by notice) recording any removal and the appointment, a certificate of the minutes by the person entitled to certify, and the acceptance of the post signed by the new director. The appointment is filed with the Registro Mercantil within ten days of acceptance (art. 215 of the Spanish Companies Act), with the signatures certified by a notary. In Spanish.

This step is free on your Spanish town hall's online office; you do not need DocMuse for it. For anyone who has paid or owes the Spanish municipal tax on the increase in land value (plusvalía, IIVTNU) after a sale, inheritance or gift from 10 November 2021 with no gain, or with a real gain lower than the one calculated: it asks for the self-assessment to be corrected or appeals the assessment, and for the overpayment back. Filed at a registry office, a post office or online; companies must file online. Navarre and the Basque Country have their own rules; the Canary Islands apply IGIC. In Spanish.

A receipt under § 368 of the German Civil Code (BGB) in which the person paid confirms receiving money — in cash or by transfer, for instance for repaying a private loan, an instalment, a deposit or a private sale. With the sum in figures and words, the date, the method, the reason for the payment and whether the debt is now fully paid or what remains. The payer can demand a receipt on paying; in German, to be printed and signed by hand by the person receiving the money.

The letter a freelancer in Germany — a translator, architect, consultant, teacher or journalist, for example — sends to the tax office (Finanzamt) on giving up their self-employed profession. Section 138 of the German Fiscal Code (AO) requires the notice within one month, and there is no official form for it. It gives the tax number, the kind of work and its last day, says whether the practice is closed or sold, deals with the VAT pre-returns and asks for the advance payments to be adjusted. In German, to post or to send through ELSTER.

Written evidence that a sum has been paid and received — on a private sale, a deposit, rent or a loan. It is completed by the person receiving the money and signed as the money changes hands.

For anyone who receives a notice or payment demand for Italian car tax (bollo auto) that is not owed: already paid, time-barred, vehicle not registered to them or exempt. The request, in Italian, asks the Region's tax office, or the body named on the notice, to cancel it on review; many Regions offer a free form or online service, to be preferred where it exists. In Friuli Venezia Giulia and Sardinia the tax is collected by the Agenzia delle Entrate, in Trentino-Alto Adige by the Province. No stamp duty; send by PEC, registered post or by hand. It does not stop the 60 days for an appeal.

The agreement by which you let another person drive your car — family, friends or acquaintances — including trips abroad: period, purpose, countries allowed, the licence check under § 103 Abs 1 Z 3 of the Austrian Motor Vehicles Act (KFG), insurance and any restricted driver group, costs, fines and damage, handover and return. Until the car comes back, you name the user in reply to a driver enquiry under § 103 Abs 2 KFG. At the end, a separate permission to drive with a short English summary, to carry in the car. In German, ready to print and sign by both.

The contract for letting out a passenger car between private individuals. The terms that are usually missing, and that later cause the argument, are separate clauses here: who is allowed to drive the car, how far it may be taken, whose account the fuel is on, and who pays the fines for offences committed during the term — including the ones that arrive months later.

For anyone who has had a road accident in Spain with damage to their vehicle: the letter to their own insurer or to the other vehicle's insurer that reports the accident, describes the damage to property, claims the amount and invites a settlement before court, as Spanish Organic Law 1/2025 requires. The policyholder must report the accident within seven days (art. 16 of the Spanish Insurance Contract Act). Sent by burofax with certified content. Not for personal injury claims. In Spanish.

For a private policyholder in France who wants to leave an insurer or mutual insurer. After a year, car insurance and a tenant's home insurance are cancelled by the new insurer, and a policy taken out online can also be cancelled online. This letter offers, as you choose: cancellation at any time, after a year, of another policy, such as supplementary health cover, effective one month after receipt (Article L. 113-15-2 of the French Insurance Code; Article L. 221-10-2 of the Mutual Insurance Code); cancellation at the annual renewal date; or cancellation of loan insurance at any time, with the lender's approval of the new policy (loi Lemoine). In French.

The letter telling your motor liability insurer in Austria that you have sold your car, as § 71 of the Austrian Insurance Contract Act (VersVG) requires: with the policy number, plate, chassis number, date and hour of handover, the buyer's name and address and the day of deregistration. It asks for the premium to be settled and prepaid premium refunded to your account, or for the policy to move to a replacement car, and for a confirmation of your claims record. Austria has no notice of sale to an authority. In German, ready to print, sign and send by registered post.

An agreement for lending your car in Germany to someone else, such as family or friends, with an authorisation to drive it, including abroad. It records the check of the driving licence (§ 21 of the German Road Traffic Act, StVG), the insurance and whether the driver is covered, the period, purpose and permitted countries, and sets out who pays for fuel, tolls, fines, damage, the insurance excess and any loss of no-claims discount. The authorisation at the end, with a short English summary, serves as proof at checks. In German, to print and sign.

A Polish power of attorney for acts of ordinary management — running the principal's day-to-day affairs and property: paying bills, collecting post, managing a let flat, dealing with offices. It must be in writing on pain of nullity (art. 99 § 2 of the Civil Code). The document also states what it does not cover — selling property, loans, gifts — since those need a power of attorney naming the type of act or the act itself.

A power of attorney for the vehicle registration office in Germany (Zulassungsstelle): it lets someone else register a car for you, re-register it after a change of keeper, deregister it or change your address in the papers. It names the principal and the representative with dates of birth and addresses, the vehicle with its VIN and plate, the eVB insurance number and the matter, and is limited to that matter. Many registration offices offer their own form free; check your office's document list. In German, to print and sign by hand.

For anyone whose vehicle was damaged in a road accident in Italy: a letter in Italian reporting the accident and claiming compensation, either from your own insurer (direct compensation, art. 149 of the Italian Private Insurance Code) or from the insurer of the driver at fault (art. 148), with the details the law requires: tax code, circumstances, and the place, days and hours for the damage assessment. Damage to property only, not injuries. Your own insurer must be told within three days (art. 1913 of the Civil Code); send it by registered post or PEC, with the CAI joint report if completed.

A Greek private agreement for a loan of money between private persons — relatives, friends, acquaintances: the parties with their AFM tax numbers, the sum in figures and words, how it is paid out, a fixed repayment day or instalments, interest and default interest. The rate is set against the ceiling for loans outside banks (7.90% a year from 16 September 2026), and the 3.6% digital transaction duty is placed on the borrower, payable to the Greek tax authority (AADE) by the end of the following month. Signed by both, it is the document a payment order runs on.

For when you lend out a thing free of charge — a tool, a piece of equipment, a car, a room. It differs from a lease in that nothing is paid, and from a money loan in that the same thing comes back rather than its value. So the description of the item and its condition at handover carry the whole weight of the contract: without them there is no way to show that what came back is not what went out.

For lending money to a relative or friend in France and keeping solid proof of it. The agreement, in French under French law, sets the amount, payment by bank transfer, a written interest rate or an interest-free loan, repayment in one sum or by monthly instalments, early repayment and what follows a late payment. It leaves the space where the borrower writes the sum in words and figures by hand (article 1376 of the French Civil Code) and recalls the tax declaration on form 2062 above €5,000. Print two copies, both signed by both parties.

An appeal to the Prefetto is free, on plain paper and has no set form; many Prefetture and the consumer association Altroconsumo publish free models. This is a ready-made appeal in Italian for the driver or owner contesting a fine under the Italian Highway Code: the ticket's details, your own grounds, a request to be heard and to have the fine dismissed. It must be lodged within 60 days of service, by registered post, PEC or by hand, with the Prefettura of the place of the offence or the police body that issued it, and only if the fine is unpaid.

The written power of attorney that lets another person — the buyer of your car, for instance — act for you at an Austrian registration office run by a motor insurer: to deregister the car and hand back the Zulassungsschein and plates, with or without reserving the number, to register it in your name, or to deposit papers and plates under § 52 of the Austrian Motor Vehicles Act (KFG). With both people's details, the vehicle's chassis number and plate, and a period of validity. The same in every Land. Deregistration itself is free. In German, ready to print and sign by hand.

The record of the moment the buyer took the car: date and hour, odometer reading, fuel, keys, documents, accessories and condition. In Greece it matters more than elsewhere: handover can come days before the digital transfer on gov.gr, the transfer records no handover at all, and until it is done the seller remains the registered owner — and the one fines are sent to. The record proves who had the vehicle, and from when fines and damage are the buyer's — and handover starts the 30 days after which the seller's insurance ends.

For an owner lending a car or motorbike free of charge to a relative, friend or colleague in Italy: an Italian contract covering the vehicle, duration, permitted use, costs, insurance, fines and return (arts. 1803–1812 of the Italian Civil Code). If the loan exceeds 30 consecutive days, the borrower must ask the Motorizzazione within 30 days to record the borrower's name on the Documento Unico (art. 94(4-bis) of the Highway Code), unless a cohabiting family member; the contract states this duty, but the entry is a separate step. Signed by both; a copy is best kept in the vehicle.

For notifying your own insurer of an accident, theft, fire, broken glass, vandalism or a weather event affecting your vehicle in France. The policy sets the time limit and how to notify, often online or by phone at no cost; the law does not allow less than five working days, or two for theft (article L. 113-2 of the French Insurance Code). The letter gives the policy, the facts, the damage, the other people involved and the enclosures. Sent by registered post with proof of receipt. In French.
