Vehicle Eligibility

Can I order a COC for a vehicle imported from another European country?

Yes, in many cases.

Certificates of Conformity are commonly required when a vehicle is moved or registered between European countries.

Availability depends on the vehicle manufacturer, VIN, production details and whether the vehicle was originally covered by an applicable European type approval.

If you are unsure, send us the VIN and registration document before ordering.

Can you provide a COC for a vehicle imported from outside the EU?

It depends on the vehicle.

Vehicles originally manufactured for markets outside the European Union may not have an EU Certificate of Conformity, even when the same model was also sold in Europe.

In these cases, another document may be required, such as a technical data sheet, manufacturer technical information or an individual approval document.

Send us the VIN and available registration documents so we can check the available options.

Are motorcycles and scooters supported?

Yes.

FastCOC supports many motorcycles, scooters and mopeds from different manufacturers.

Make sure you select the correct vehicle category when ordering, as motorcycles and other two-wheel vehicles use different approval information from passenger cars.

Availability must still be confirmed for the specific VIN.

Do you provide documents for vans and commercial vehicles?

Yes, many vans and commercial vehicles are supported.

Eligibility can depend on factors such as:

• Vehicle category
• Manufacturer
• Gross vehicle weight
• Body configuration
• Original type approval
• Number of approval stages

For commercial vehicles, providing a clear registration document is especially important.

Are campers and motorhomes eligible?

Many campers and motorhomes are supported, but these vehicles can require additional checks.

A motorhome may involve both:

• The manufacturer of the original base vehicle
• The manufacturer or converter responsible for the completed motorhome

For this reason, always provide the complete VIN and registration document so the correct manufacturer and approval stage can be identified.

Can I order for a classic or historic vehicle?

Possibly, but older vehicles require special attention.

Vehicles manufactured before the modern European COC system may never have had a Certificate of Conformity.

Depending on the vehicle, alternatives can include:

• Technical data sheets
• Manufacturer archive documents
• National homologation certificates
• Historic vehicle documentation

Contact us before ordering if the vehicle is particularly old.

Why must the VIN contain exactly 17 characters?

Most modern vehicles use a standardized 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

The VIN allows the vehicle and its technical specification to be identified accurately.

Older vehicles may use a shorter chassis number instead. If your vehicle does not have a 17-character VIN, contact FastCOC for a manual eligibility check rather than entering incorrect characters.

Does the first registration date affect eligibility?

Yes.

The production period and first registration date can affect:

• The applicable type-approval system
• Emissions regulations
• Available manufacturer records
• The type of document that can be issued

Always enter the first registration date as accurately as possible.

Can a converted or special-purpose vehicle receive a standard COC?

Not always.

Conversions can change the vehicle's approved configuration or even its official vehicle category.

Examples include:

• Motorhome conversions
• Ambulances
• Wheelchair-accessible vehicles
• Special-purpose commercial vehicles
• Vehicles with major structural modifications

These vehicles may require documents from a second-stage manufacturer, a technical report or an individual approval process.

Send us the VIN and registration document before ordering if the vehicle has been converted.

What should I do if my manufacturer is not listed?

Contact FastCOC before placing an order.

Send us:

• The complete VIN
• A clear copy of the registration document
• Vehicle manufacturer
• Model
• First registration date

A manufacturer not appearing in our online catalogue does not necessarily mean that no document is available. Our team can review the vehicle manually.

Send us your VIN and a clear copy of the registration document before ordering.

We can check the vehicle and help you identify the most appropriate document.
