Electronically within 1–2 days, on paper within 1–2 weeks. [Order a CoC](https://jarmuhonositas.hu/en/coc-order/) I have a question Service fee 39.990 Ft + VAT The manufacturer cost comes on top - **Electronic copy 1–2 days** — Paper copy 1–2 weeks — Manufacturer cost EUR 100–180 Instant answer ## What is a CoC document? The CoC (Certificate of Conformity) is a document issued by the vehicle’s manufacturer. It certifies that the vehicle meets the technical requirements of the vehicle type approved in the European Union. It is not a mere technical data sheet: it matters for registration, licensing and sale abroad alike. A CoC can be obtained for every passenger car and light commercial vehicle, up to **3.5 tonnes** gross weight — provided the vehicle was built for the European market. Who needs it? - **When registering an electric or hybrid vehicle** — The authorities require it, and it is essential for a green plate. - **When registering a new vehicle** — For a new vehicle the CoC is the basic proof of type conformity. - **When registering a Hungarian vehicle abroad** — On export, the foreign authority requires it. - **For priority, fast-track registration** — Having it speeds up the procedure. ## What data does it contain? chassis number (VIN) manufacturer and vehicle type EU type-approval number engine data, power output fuel type emission classification CO₂ emissions kerb weight maximum permissible gross weight axle loads vehicle dimensions permitted tyre and wheel sizes noise and emission values other type-approval data ## Which cars will never have a CoC - Cars from the USA - Vehicles from Dubai and the United Arab Emirates - other models built for non-European markets - certain older vehicles — especially those built before the current European type-approval system was introduced These can be registered in Hungary, but it requires different technical documentation and a different official procedure. ## Selling your car abroad? In many European countries the buyer or the local authority asks for the certificate of conformity. Before selling a Hungarian-registered car abroad it is worth checking whether the CoC exists, and if it has been lost, arranging a replacement before the sale. ## On import When buying a foreign car it is always worth asking the seller whether the original CoC is available. If it is not, that is not necessarily a problem — the first thing to establish is whether a CoC can be issued at all for that VIN, and if so, how it can be replaced. ## How can it be ordered? HU 01 Order in the shop The service fee is 39,990 Ft + VAT. [Add to cart →](https://jarmuhonositas.hu/en/coc-order/) HU 02 Send the documents - ID card, address card, phone number - the vehicle registration certificate - document proving ownership HU 03 Electronic certificate If the manufacturer approves, you receive the CoC by e-mail within 1–2 days. HU 04 Paper copy Postal delivery takes 1–2 weeks on average. ## Replacing a lost CoC - **With Hungarian documents** — Almost **Fully replaceable** . - **Foreign vehicle** — A secondary CoC can be requested from the manufacturer, subject to approval. Refund If replacement is not possible, we refund the full amount. If the customer withdraws from the order, we retain 50% of the fee and refund the remainder within 24 hours. ## What is a CoC document for? - **Foreign registration and sale** — Without a CoC, registering abroad is harder or impossible. - **Value increase** — On Mobile.de and AutoScout24 it sells for more with a CoC. - **Green licence plate** — It is indispensable for electric and hybrid vehicles. - **Fast-track registration** — For an EU vehicle up to 3.5 tonnes it speeds up the procedure. ## Frequently asked questions **How soon will I get it?** Electronically 1–2 days, on paper 1–2 weeks, subject to the manufacturer’s approval. **How much is it in total?** Service fee 39,990 Ft, plus the manufacturer’s own fee, typically EUR 100–180. **What if the manufacturer refuses to issue it?** In that case we refund the full amount paid. **Can a CoC be obtained for an American car too?** No. There is no CoC for American and third-country vehicles — it only exists for models with European type approval built for the European market, and it cannot be obtained later. That is why a CoC cannot be ordered in the shop for a US version. Registering such a vehicle is possible, just with different documentation and a different official procedure. **Is a Japanese, Korean or Chinese brand a problem?** Not in itself. If the vehicle was built for the European market and has proper EU type approval, a CoC can exist for it — regardless of where the manufacturer is based. What rules it out is a version built for the USA, Dubai / the UAE or another non-EU market. **Is a CoC needed for registration?** Not in every case. If the vehicle comes from the EU and the foreign registration certificate contains all technical and environmental data, it is generally not required for registration. For electric and hybrid vehicles, and for non-EU imports, it is. **For which vehicles can it be obtained?** For every passenger car and light commercial vehicle, up to 3.5 tonnes gross weight.

If registration is planned, start it early. 01 - **You send the documents** — Registration certificate, title, sales contract — photos are enough. 02 - **A quote within 24 hours** — An itemised, fixed amount, not an estimate. 03 - **We handle it end to end** — You receive the finished registration certificate and the plate.
