What is a COC Compliance and Ownership Certificate?
Our COC Compliance and Ownership Certificate is an independent document that includes all essential technical details about your vehicle. This includes emissions levels, weight, Euro class, and both EC type and Swiss homologation numbers. Additionally, it features ownership details to help streamline vehicle transfers and documentation processes.
Â
What is the purpose of the ownership details?
The ownership information is vital for ensuring the traceability and authenticity of your vehicle, especially valuable in international transactions and transfers. You don’t need to provide these details immediately; you can add them at a later time, either on your own upon receiving the certificate by stamping or filling in the owner’s information, or by contacting us for updates. This flexibility makes the certificate a comprehensive and practical tool for vehicle management.
Â
Who benefits from this certificate?
Our certificate is designed for individuals and businesses alike, providing a reliable document that includes technical specifications like Euro class, weight, emissions, and homologation numbers. Whether you need it for personal or commercial purposes, this certificate facilitates compliance and cross-border movement of vehicles.
Â
Is this an official document, and are you affiliated with a government agency?
This COC Compliance and Ownership Certificate is an independent document, not issued by any government agency. We are not affiliated with any official or quasi-governmental entity. While the certificate provides detailed information useful for compliance and ownership management, it does not replace government-issued registration documents. Note that certain agencies may require additional documentation depending on your procedure.
Â
What if my vehicle doesn’t have a homologation number?
Not a problem! Homologation numbers are helpful but not mandatory for obtaining our certificate. Our document is designed to provide complete vehicle details that support compliance and ownership regardless of homologation specifics.
Â
Â
Can I update the ownership details later?
Yes, there’s no need to enter the ownership details at the time of ordering. You can add them later, either before we ship the certificate or directly on the document upon receipt. For business information, simply apply a stamp in the designated area, while for individual ownership, you can fill in the details manually. This flexibility allows you to finalize the ownership information at your convenience.
Is it possible to change the ownership details on a certificate that has already been issued?
Yes, you can request an update to the ownership details on a certificate that has already been issued. Simply contact our customer service team, and we’ll assist you with the process. There is a service fee of €50 plus VAT for this update, along with any applicable shipping costs. This option allows you to keep your certificate current, even if ownership information changes over time.
How does this certificate differ from a traditional Certificate of Conformity?
Traditional Certificates of Conformity (COCs) are issued by the manufacturer when a vehicle is produced for the European market, are specific to vehicles from 2007 onwards, and can take 10 days to two months for issuance. Our independent certificate contains similar information, along with additional details, and is issued within five business days. It’s available for 98% of vehicles produced from 1958 to today, providing a more flexible and accessible option.
Why should I purchase this certificate if it’s not mandatory?
Our COC Compliance and Ownership Certificate is a valuable tool for vehicle management, especially for import/export, resale, and ownership transfers. It’s a faster and more economical option than other solutions and is available in multiple languages to simplify the process further.
How long does it take to receive the certificate?
Most certificates are issued within five business days, with a maximum of seven business days in rare cases. For verified urgent requests, we can provide a digital copy within 24 hours. Delivery is available worldwide via express shipping through UPS or DHL, starting from a one-day turnaround.
