Certificate of conformity
You will need a COC certificate if you are importing or exporting a vehicle.
Two simple steps to request a Certificate of Conformity
A Certificate of Conformity (COC) is required when importing and registering your vehicle in another EU member state, or when importing and registering your vehicle into the UK from another EU state. For UK specification vehicles a COC is provided Free of Charge and should take 7 working days to process. For non UK vehicles the COC will take 6 weeks to process* and will cost £100.
In order to order your COC you will need:
- V5 or proof of ownership for the vehicle
- Your driving licence
- A recent utility bill
- The bill of sale for the vehicle
- A clear photo of the VIN plate showing the vehicle weights
*There may be a charge for some UK vehicles (registered before 2009) and in some circumstances there may not be a COC available.
