When You Don’t Have the COC, Registration Stalls

  • Your office requests type-approval data, masses & dimensions, and emissions class.
  • The manufacturer’s COC is unavailable, lost, or too slow.
  • Deadlines and costs are approaching — every day counts.

The CDS compiles the same EU-relevant technical information offices use every day — so you can keep your registration moving.

What Is a Complete Data Sheet (CDS)?

The CDS is an EU-ready technical data sheet used when the manufacturer’s Certificate of Conformity (COC) is unavailable. It consolidates the technical specifications your office typically requests to complete registration of an imported vehicle.

  • EU type-approval reference and variant/version (where applicable)
  • Masses & dimensions, powertrain specifications
  • Emissions class (EURO) and environmental data
  • Wheel/tyre approvals and notes for inspection
  • Delivered as verified PDF; paper copy available

CDS vs COC — What’s the Difference?

AspectManufacturer COCComplete Data Sheet (CDS)
Issuer Vehicle manufacturer (original conformity document) Compliance provider compiling EU-relevant registration data
Main use case Original proof of EU type-approval When COC is missing/unavailable — practical registration solution
Content focus Conformity statement + technical data Technical data offices actually request (type-approval ref, masses, emissions, tyres)

If your office strictly requires the manufacturer’s COC, we’ll guide you to the fastest alternative. Otherwise, the CDS is the practical way to keep your registration on track.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I register a vehicle without the original Certificate of Conformity (COC)?

Yes. When the manufacturer’s COC is missing or unavailable, our Complete Data Sheet (CDS) supplies the EU-relevant technical data your office typically asks for (type-approval references, masses & dimensions, emissions class, wheel/tyre approvals) so the registration can proceed.

What’s the difference between a COC and the CDS?

The COC is the manufacturer’s original conformity document. The CDS is an EU-ready technical data sheet compiled for registration when the COC is not available; it focuses on the specifications that offices check in practice to complete imported or re-registered vehicles.

Will my local registration office accept the CDS?

Our format aligns with technical information referenced by the EU type-approval framework (e.g., data under Directive 2007/46/EC) and is used daily across Europe. If your office requests an extra check, we provide the exact next step or the fastest alternative.

Can you help with older vehicles (made before 2000) or classics?

Yes. For many vehicles manufactured before 2000 where a manufacturer COC is not issued, the CDS provides the technical specifications required for registration (masses, dimensions, emissions classification where applicable, tyres/wheels, etc.). Availability depends on model—use the search or send a manual check.

What about non-EU imports (USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, UAE)?

We routinely prepare EU-formatted data sheets for imports from USA/Canada/Japan/Australia/UAE. The CDS consolidates EU-usable specs so your office can evaluate the vehicle without lengthy conversions of foreign paperwork.

How fast do I receive the document and in what format?

Standard delivery is 24–72h. You receive a digitally signed PDF by email; a paper copy can be added if needed. Urgent case or a tight deadline? Contact Customer Service.

Do you cover my brand/model? Can I search by VIN?

Yes—cars, motorcycles, vans and light trucks across many brands and model years. Use the search box with brand + model + year; adding your VIN speeds up matching and verification. If you don’t see it, submit a manual check.

How much does it cost and how do I pay?

Pricing varies by brand/category and is shown at checkout. Payments are processed over secure SSL. An invoice is provided after purchase.
