If you have imported a vehicle from abroad, in most countries, you will need a Certificate of Conformity (COC) to confirm that the vehicle meets the technical and environmental standards required for it to be registered and driven without modifications However, in some cases, if specific details (such as technical specifications or approval codes) are already included in the vehicle’s documents, the COC might not be necessary. That said, authorities may still request the COC as part of the registration process. The requirements for registering an imported vehicle vary between countries. More information on registration in a specific country can be found here.

The price of the Certificate of conformity depends on the car brand, model, country and year of first registration of the vehicle. Prices varies from 149 € (COC Audi) to 859 € (COC Rolls Royce) – excl. VAT. All COC certificates of ours are originals issued by the manufacturer of the vehicle or by an official representative of the make. However, the original document is only the first copy that should be given to the first owner of the vehicle. All subsequent copies may indicate “Duplicate” or “Copy” but corresponds to the original Certificate of conformity and contains all security signs such as hologram, watermark or a signature.

Certificate of conformity as a document corresponds to technical characteristics of a unique vehicle such as VIN number, colour of the vehicle, number of seats, emission norms and standards, fiscal power, sound level, engine capacity, maximum speed, fuel type, consumption, gearbox type etc. Unlike certificate of registration, it usually has 51 technical points. If you want to see what information are included in the Certificate of conformity (COC), please check some of our COC samples.

Every certificate of conformity is unique and based on VIN number of the vehicle. Usually COC has 51 points, where each point represents some technical information. Some COC examples from EUROCOC- COC car VW sample, COC car BMW sample, COC car Audi sample, COC motorbike BMW sample, COC light goods vehicle Peugeot sample.

Usually first issuance of the COC is free and the certificate of conformity is delivered when buying brand new car directly from the car dealer. If you are buying a used car, second-hand car, light goods vehicle, scooter or motorcycle, then there is great chance that your COC has already been issued for the first time and every other copy called duplicate is chargeable. The manufacturer, who has the correct dataset for the COC, charges a price for every other print of the COC. Therefore there is always a price for Certificate of conformity. COCs that you can find on the market for free are most probably invalid datasheets that will not help you register your car.
