Conformity (COC) is an official document confirming that a vehicle adheres to the technical and environmental standards set by the European Union. This certification is essential for registering an imported vehicle in many EU countries without requiring additional inspections or modifications.

COC Express can provide COCs for:

• Passenger cars (M1)
• Light commercial vehicles (N1)
• Motorcycles and scooters (L)

Each COC includes critical details such as the vehicle’s identification number, type approval reference, technical specifications, and proof of compliance with EU regulations.

In most EU countries, a COC is required for vehicle registration if the car was imported from another country. However, if the vehicle’s registration documents already contain the necessary technical details, the authorities may not request a COC. It’s advisable to check with your local registration office to confirm whether you need this document.

The price of a Certificate of Conformity varies based on factors such as the vehicle’s brand, model, production year, and country of first registration. Prices generally range from €XXX (for brands like Audi) to €XXX (for high-end models such as Lamborghini), excluding VAT.

All COCs provided by COC Express are official documents issued by the manufacturer or an authorized representative. If a duplicate is needed, it will be labeled accordingly but remains fully valid for registration.

Yes, all COCs supplied by COC Express are genuine and originate from the official vehicle manufacturer or its authorized representatives. Each certificate includes security features such as watermarks, holograms, or signatures to guarantee authenticity.

A COC contains comprehensive technical specifications about the vehicle, including:

• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
• Engine specifications (capacity, power, fuel type)
• Emission standards and environmental compliance
• Dimensions, weight, and number of seats
• Approval number and regulatory information

If you purchase a brand-new vehicle directly from an official dealer, the COC is usually provided at no extra cost. However, if you are buying a pre-owned or imported vehicle, obtaining a duplicate COC requires payment. Be wary of free COCs found online, as they may be incomplete or invalid for registration purposes.

Only the original vehicle manufacturer can issue a COC, as it contains precise details from the production records. COC Express acts as an intermediary, helping customers acquire valid COCs directly from manufacturers and authorized representatives.

If your vehicle was first registered in a non-EU country (such as the USA, Canada, Japan, or the UAE), it is unlikely to have a European type-approval number, meaning a COC cannot be issued. In such cases, you should consult the brand’s official importer in your country for guidance on alternative certification options.

The COC was established to simplify the registration of vehicles across EU member states, ensuring uniform technical standards and removing the need for multiple national approvals. Regulations such as 92/53/EEC and 2007/46/EC helped streamline the process, making it easier to trade and register vehicles within the European market while upholding safety and environmental standards.
