What is a European certificate of conformity?
The European certificate of conformity, or COC (Certificate of Conformity), is the official document issued by the manufacturer proving that your vehicle conforms to a type approved in the European Union. It sets out all the vehicle’s technical characteristics: dimensions, weight, emissions, engine, noise level and safety equipment.
Without a COC, it is impossible to obtain a registration certificate for a vehicle imported from another EU country. It is the cornerstone of any cross-border registration process.

eCOC 2026: what changes, and what does not
Since 5 July 2026, conformity data for new EU vehicles has been sent to the authorities as an eCOC; paper remains accepted until 29 November 2026 at the latest. For an imported used vehicle nothing changes: the COC is what you need, and we obtain it for you.

Frequently asked questions
What is a certificate of conformity (COC)?
It is the manufacturer’s document confirming that a vehicle conforms to a type approved in the European Union. It is mandatory to register an imported vehicle.
What is the difference between COC and eCOC?
The COC is the manufacturer’s certificate, handed to the vehicle owner. The eCOC is its structured-data version (an eIDAS-sealed XML file) that the manufacturer sends to the type-approval authorities, since 5 July 2026, for newly manufactured vehicles from that date. It is not a document a private owner orders or receives: if you are importing a used vehicle or replacing a lost certificate, the classic COC is what you need. We deliver it as a digital copy by email, and on paper if you prefer.
How much does a certificate of conformity cost?
The price depends on the brand. At Homologa, it ranges from around 159 € to 349 €. The price is the same for paper and digital.
How long will it take to receive it?
From a few working days to a few weeks depending on the manufacturer. The turnaround is stated before you pay.
