Excelente serviço do início ao fim! Andei à procura de empresas para importar um carro e exportar outro para Espanha e, de todas as opções disponíveis, esta foi, sem dúvida, a que ofereceu o melhor serviço. Foram impecáveis em todos os momentos — sempre disponíveis, prestativos e muito profissionais. Trataram de todo o processo com uma rapidez surpreendente e deixaram-me bastante tranquilo durante todas as etapas. Recomendo a 100%!

A COC is an official confirmation issued by a vehicle manufacturer (or their authorised agent) that your vehicle adheres to all applicable EU safety, environmental, and technical standards at the time of manufacture. It ensures that your vehicle’s specifications align with the Europe-approved type — making registration across EU borders much smoother.
In most cases, yes. A COC is the most straightforward way to demonstrate EU compliance and avoid extra inspections in your destination country. That said, if your vehicle’s existing documentation already includes certain technical details or type approval information, local authorities in some EU countries might accept those. It’s best to double-check with your local registration office.
A COC typically includes:
The first COC, provided with a brand-new vehicle, often comes at no extra cost. However, for used or imported vehicles, duplicating an official COC involves retrieving data from the manufacturer and issuing a new certified document — a process that justifies a fee. Be cautious: free documents found online are usually unofficial and may not be accepted by authorities.
A COC contains comprehensive technical specifications about the vehicle, including:
If a vehicle was originally registered outside the EU (e.g., in the U.S., Japan, or Australia), it’s very unlikely to hold EU type approval, thus a standard COC isn’t possible. However, we offer tailored homologation support to help bring your vehicle into compliance with EU road standards. Contact us to know more.
Delivery timelines depend on the vehicle make and model, but typically range from 5 to 30 business days for processing. After that, shipping may take an additional 1 to 7 days, depending on the chosen method.
Only the vehicle manufacturer or an officially authorized agent has the legal authority to issue an authentic COC. At COC EXPRESS, we partner directly with licensed manufacturers and official representatives to guarantee the legitimacy of every certificate issued.
To process your request, you’ll typically need:
VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)
In certain instances, especially when documentation is missing, additional items like proof of purchase, a photo of the homologation label, or ID may be requested.
If your vehicle’s make isn’t available, it means we currently lack a supplier for that brand, contacting the manufacturer directly is the next best step. If you’ve lost documents, send us any available vehicle data (e.g., homologation label photo, VIN, make/model/year) and we’ll investigate availability for you.
