Orders & Processing

Placing an order, required information, changes and processing times.

01 How do I place an order for a Certificate of Conformity?

Choose the correct vehicle category and manufacturer, complete the order form with the requested vehicle details, upload any required documents and complete payment. Processing begins only after the information has been received and checked.

02 What information do I need before ordering?

You will normally need the complete VIN, manufacturer, model, first registration date and a clear copy of the registration document. Additional documents may be requested depending on the vehicle and the service selected.

03 Can I order if I do not yet have the registration document?

In some cases the VIN and basic vehicle details may be enough to begin a preliminary review. However, the registration document or other proof may still be required before the request can be processed.

04 When does the stated processing time begin?

The processing time begins after payment is confirmed and all required information and documents have been supplied correctly. Time spent waiting for missing or corrected information is not counted as processing time.

05 Do weekends and public holidays count as working days?

No. Processing estimates expressed in working days normally exclude Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays applicable to the office or document issuer.

06 Can I change the VIN after placing the order?

Contact support immediately. A VIN can only be corrected before the request has been submitted to the manufacturer or document provider; afterwards, a new order or additional charge may be required.

07 Why is my order on hold?

An order may be placed on hold when information is missing, a document is unreadable, payment requires verification or the vehicle needs an additional eligibility check. Check your email and customer account for the latest request.

08 Can I place one order for several vehicles?

Each vehicle normally requires its own order because every document is linked to one VIN. Business customers handling several vehicles can contact support for assistance with multiple requests.

09 Can a dealer or importer order on behalf of a customer?

Yes, provided that the person placing the order is authorised to use the vehicle information and supply the required documents. The invoice and delivery details should be entered correctly during checkout.

10 Can I request urgent or priority processing?

Priority options are available only when shown on the relevant product page. An urgent request cannot bypass manufacturer checks, missing documentation or external processing times.

11 What happens if I entered incorrect vehicle information?

Contact support as soon as possible and provide the correct information. Corrections are easier before processing begins; once a request has been submitted externally, changes may no longer be possible.

12 How can I check the status of my order?

Use the order tracking page or sign in to My Account and open the relevant order. Important updates and requests for additional information may also be sent by email.

14 questions

Certificates of Conformity

What a COC is, document formats, validity and technical content.

01 What is a Certificate of Conformity?

A Certificate of Conformity, commonly called a COC, is a document containing the vehicle identification and type-approval data declared by the manufacturer for a specific vehicle.

02 Is a COC the same as a registration certificate?

No. A registration certificate proves that a vehicle is registered, while a COC contains homologation and technical conformity information used during registration or re-registration procedures.

03 Will I receive an original COC or a digital copy?

The format available depends on the product selected. The product page states whether the service includes a PDF, an original paper document, or both.

04 Is a PDF COC accepted by every registration authority?

Acceptance rules vary by country and authority. Before ordering, confirm whether the office handling your registration accepts a digital document or requires an original paper version.

05 Does a Certificate of Conformity expire?

A COC generally relates permanently to the vehicle and VIN, but an authority may still request a recent duplicate, additional evidence or a different document format. Local registration rules always apply.

06 Can I request a duplicate COC for a lost document?

Yes, when a duplicate can be issued for the vehicle. Eligibility depends on the manufacturer, VIN, market of origin and available type-approval records.

07 Does the COC include the European type-approval number?

When applicable, the document normally includes the EU or EC type-approval reference together with the vehicle type, variant, version and other technical data.

08 Which technical details are normally shown on a COC?

A COC can include masses, dimensions, engine or motor power, fuel type, emissions, sound levels, tyres, seating capacity, towing data and other homologation values applicable to the vehicle.

09 Can the COC be issued in a different language?

Language availability depends on the issuer and product. A translation may be offered separately, but a translation does not replace the original manufacturer document unless the receiving authority accepts it.

10 Can information on a COC be corrected?

A correction is possible only when the issuer confirms that the document contains an error. Vehicle modifications, changed equipment or incorrect source records cannot simply be rewritten as a correction.

11 Is a COC guaranteed to complete my vehicle registration?

No single document can guarantee registration. The final decision belongs to the competent authority, which may request inspections, taxes, translations or additional technical documents.

12 What is the difference between a COC and a technical data sheet?

A COC is a conformity document linked to the manufacturer's type approval. A technical data sheet presents vehicle specifications and may be used when a COC is unavailable, but the two documents are not automatically interchangeable.

13 Can a modified vehicle still use its original COC?

The original COC describes the vehicle as approved when manufactured. Modifications to bodywork, engine, suspension, emissions, seating or other regulated components may require separate approval or inspection.

14 What happens when the vehicle was never issued with an EU COC?

Some vehicles, particularly non-European, older or individually approved vehicles, may not have an EU COC. In that case, a technical report, national approval document or individual inspection may be required.

10 questions

Vehicle Eligibility

Supported vehicles, VIN checks and special registration situations.

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

Yes, many requests concern vehicles moving between European countries. Eligibility still depends on the manufacturer, VIN and whether the vehicle has an applicable European type approval.

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

A non-EU vehicle may not have an EU Certificate of Conformity. Submit the VIN and available documents for review; an alternative technical document may be more appropriate.

03 Are motorcycles and scooters supported?

Yes, supported categories can include motorcycles, scooters and mopeds. Select the correct category because the required technical data and approval rules differ from passenger cars.

04 Do you provide documents for vans and commercial vehicles?

Yes, many light commercial vehicles are supported. Availability can depend on category, body type, maximum mass and the way the vehicle was originally approved.

05 Are campers and motorhomes eligible?

Campers and motorhomes may require documents from both the base-vehicle manufacturer and the final-stage manufacturer. Eligibility must be checked using the complete VIN and registration details.

06 Can I order for a classic or historic vehicle?

Older vehicles may predate the modern EU COC system. A technical data sheet, archive certificate or national homologation document may be required instead.

07 Why must the VIN contain exactly 17 characters?

Most modern vehicles use a 17-character VIN. Older vehicles can have shorter chassis numbers, so they may require a manual eligibility review rather than the standard online process.

08 Does the first registration date affect eligibility?

Yes. The applicable approval system, emissions standard and available manufacturer records can depend on the production period and first registration date.

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

A conversion can change the approval category or final manufacturer. Ambulances, motorhomes, wheelchair vehicles and other conversions may require second-stage or individual approval documents.

10 What should I do if my manufacturer is not listed?

Contact support with the VIN, registration document and vehicle details. The absence of a brand from the catalogue does not always mean the request is impossible, but a manual review may be needed.

9 questions

Delivery & Tracking

PDF delivery, original documents, shipping and tracking.

01 How will a PDF document be delivered?

Digital documents are normally sent to the email address used for the order and may also appear in My Account when that feature is available for the order.

02 How are original paper documents shipped?

Original documents are shipped to the delivery address entered during checkout using the delivery service shown in the order. Tracking is provided when the selected service includes it.

03 When will I receive my tracking number?

Tracking becomes available after the original document has been prepared and handed to the courier. Processing time and shipping time are separate.

04 Can I change the shipping address after ordering?

Contact support before dispatch. Once the parcel has been handed to the courier, an address change may be unavailable or subject to an additional fee.

05 What should I do if the tracking has not updated?

Courier scans can be delayed, especially around weekends, customs checks or transfers between networks. Contact support if there is no movement for an unusual period.

06 What happens if the original document is lost in transit?

Contact support as soon as possible. The courier investigation, replacement eligibility and delivery responsibility will depend on the selected shipping service and the circumstances of the loss.

07 Are customs charges included in the delivery price?

Import duties, customs charges and local handling fees are not normally included unless explicitly stated. These charges may apply to destinations outside the dispatch customs area.

08 I did not receive the PDF email. What should I check?

Check the spam, junk and promotions folders and confirm that the order email address is correct. Then contact support with the order number so the delivery can be verified.

09 Can a document be sent again?

A digital document can usually be re-sent after the order and recipient have been verified. Re-shipping an original paper document may involve courier or reissue costs.

8 questions

Payments & Billing

Checkout, invoices, currencies, taxes and payment verification.

01 Which payment methods can I use?

Available payment methods are displayed securely during checkout and can vary by country, currency, device and payment provider.

02 Why was my card payment declined?

A payment can be declined by the card issuer, fraud-prevention checks, insufficient funds or incorrect authentication. Contact your bank or try another available payment method.

03 Is payment information stored by FastCoc?

Card details are processed by the payment provider and are not normally stored directly by FastCoc. The provider may use secure tokens for authorised payment functions.

04 Can I receive an invoice for my order?

Yes. Enter the billing name, address, company details and tax information correctly during checkout. Contact support promptly if an invoice detail needs correction.

05 Is VAT included in the displayed price?

The checkout shows the taxes applicable to the order based on the product, billing information and relevant tax rules. Review the final total before confirming payment.

06 Can I pay in a different currency?

The currencies available are those shown on the website or checkout. Your bank may apply its own exchange rate or foreign transaction fee.

07 What should I do if I was charged twice?

Do not place another order immediately. Send support the order number and evidence of both charges so the payment records can be checked with the provider.

08 Why is my payment being reviewed?

Some transactions require additional verification for fraud prevention or regulatory checks. Processing may begin only after the payment has been confirmed.

9 questions

Refunds & Cancellations

Cancellation requests, eligibility, delays and rejected requests.

01 Can I cancel an order after payment?

Send a cancellation request immediately. Eligibility depends on whether processing has started, whether the request has been submitted to a third party and whether non-refundable costs have already been incurred.

02 Can I receive a refund after the document has been issued?

A completed personalised document is generally not refundable simply because it is no longer needed. Refund rights remain subject to the applicable Refund Policy and mandatory consumer law.

03 What happens if the manufacturer cannot issue the document?

The order will be reviewed under the applicable service and refund conditions. Any amount retained for checks, administration or third-party costs must be consistent with the terms accepted at checkout.

04 Can I request a refund because a registration office rejected the document?

First send the written rejection and the document received to support. The reason must be reviewed because rejection can result from local requirements, missing additional documents or an actual document issue.

05 Will I be refunded if processing takes longer than expected?

Processing times are estimates unless an explicit guarantee is stated for the selected service. Any delay-related remedy is governed by the product terms and Refund Policy.

06 I placed the same order twice. Can one be cancelled?

Contact support immediately with both order numbers. A duplicate can usually be reviewed more easily before either request enters processing.

07 Are delivery charges refundable?

Shipping charges may not be refundable after dispatch or when a courier service has already been purchased. The result depends on the stage of delivery and the Refund Policy.

08 How do I submit a refund request?

Contact support from the email used for the order and include the order number, VIN, reason for the request and supporting evidence. A request is not approved until the review is completed.

09 How long does an approved refund take?

After approval, the refund is sent to the original payment method. The bank or payment provider may need additional business days before the credit appears.

9 questions

Terms & Conditions

Customer responsibilities, service limits and use of documents.

01 When do I accept the FastCoc Terms and Conditions?

You accept the applicable Terms and Conditions when you submit an order and confirm checkout. Review them before payment because they form part of the service agreement.

Yes. The customer must provide accurate VIN, vehicle, billing and delivery information and must upload genuine, readable documents. Incorrect information can cause delay, rejection or additional cost.

03 Can FastCoc guarantee acceptance by every authority?

No. Registration and administrative decisions are made by independent authorities. FastCoc provides the ordered document or service but cannot control local inspections, taxes or additional requirements.

No. A vehicle-specific document is linked to the VIN shown on it and must not be altered, transferred or used for another vehicle.

Documents must not be fraudulently altered or misrepresented. Copies may be made only for lawful personal, administrative or professional use where permitted.

Availability can be affected by manufacturer records, external providers, legal restrictions or incorrect vehicle information. When a material issue arises, support will explain the available options.

07 What happens if fraudulent or suspicious information is submitted?

An order may be suspended or cancelled and additional verification may be requested. Suspected unlawful activity can be reported or handled as required by applicable law.

08 Which version of the policies applies to my order?

The version presented and accepted at the time of checkout generally applies, subject to mandatory legal rights. Keep the order confirmation and any policy copy provided with it.

09 Do these FAQ answers replace the Terms and Conditions?
