Certificate of Conformity COC VW

The EC Certificate of Conformity for VW is the technical birth certificate of your vehicle and the official proof that your Volkswagen has valid type approval within the EU. In everyday language, it is usually called COC documents or VW COC. With this document, the manufacturer confirms that your car complies with all EU requirements for safety and the environment. This is exactly the document you need to register an imported Volkswagen with the national vehicle registration authority, without having to go through an expensive individual approval procedure.

With the Volkswagen COC documents that you order online through us, the registration authority and technical inspection organisations recognise the manufacturer’s data without difficulty; an additional technical report for an EU import is not required. The certificate is also the binding basis for vehicle tax and lists all wheel and tyre combinations approved ex works, whether for a Golf, Tiguan, Passat or a fully electric model such as the ID.3 or ID.4.

We understand that vehicle registration processes are time-sensitive. For this reason, our workflow is designed for maximum efficiency and reliability:

• Immediate verification: after you submit your details, our specialists check availability without delay.
• Free PDF copy: a digital copy is sent to you by email as soon as it is released by the manufacturer.
• Physical original: the official document is dispatched directly to your address once it has been issued.
  

For shipping, you can choose between UPS Standard and UPS Express:

• UPS Standard: €0.00 (+3 to 7 working days)
• UPS Express: +€19.90 (+1 working day)

Please note: When issuing Volkswagen Certificates of Conformity (COC), vehicles first registered before 2001 may require up to 10 working days for processing. Please also note that VW COC documents for vehicles manufactured before 2000 do not contain a watermark.

The Volkswagen COC document, the data sheet containing all vehicle data, provides a complete summary of the homologated characteristics that go beyond the standard vehicle registration document:

• Identification: Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), make, exact type designation, variant and version, as well as the EC type-approval number that is decisive for import procedures.
• Engine: Engine capacity, engine code, fuel type (petrol, diesel/TDI, natural gas or fully electric) and maximum net power in kW.
• Dimensions and weights: Length, width and height, mass in running order, technically permissible maximum mass, as well as towing capacities (braked and unbraked) and vertical load, especially relevant for Transporter models or vehicles with a towbar.
• Emissions: CO2 values according to WLTP (or NEDC for older vehicles) and the exact emissions standard, for example Euro 6 or Euro 6d for newer models, which directly affects the amount of vehicle tax.
• Tyres: All tyre sizes and rim specifications approved ex works, so that you can fit winter wheels or accessory rims without additional registration.
• Additional data: Official colour designation, number of seats, stationary and driving noise in dB(A), and the design-related maximum speed.

To request your Volkswagen COC, you must provide the 17-character vehicle identification number (VIN). You can find it in the following locations:

• Vehicle registration document: in field “E” of the registration certificate (Part I).
• On the vehicle: visible through the windscreen on the driver’s side (lower section) or on the manufacturer’s identification plate located on the B-pillar.
  

Important note: please enter the VIN without spaces when placing your order. Make sure not to confuse the letter “O” with the number “0”, as this could cause processing delays.
