The COC for two-wheelers

Motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, tricycles and quadricycles fall under category L and have European type-approval. The certificate of conformity is required to register a two-wheeler imported from another EU country.

euroeCOC handles the main motorcycle and scooter brands. Tell us your model and we’ll confirm the price and turnaround.

New: the eCOC becomes mandatory on 5 July 2026

Since 5 July 2026, conformity data for newly built EU vehicles is sent to the authorities as an eCOC (signed XML). For an imported used vehicle nothing changes: the COC is what you need, and we obtain it for you.

Frequently asked questions

Is the COC mandatory to register an imported vehicle?

Yes. For a vehicle imported from another EU country, the certificate of conformity is required to obtain the registration certificate.

Can I get a duplicate if I have lost my COC?

Yes. We obtain an official duplicate of the certificate from the manufacturer. Mind the 10-year rule: under Article 36 of Regulation (EU) 2018/858, the manufacturer is only obliged to issue a duplicate for 10 years after the vehicle’s date of manufacture, and only keeps copies for that same period. Beyond that, it remains possible but is at the manufacturer’s discretion — we check availability before charging you anything.

Is the COC valid throughout Europe?

Yes, the European certificate of conformity is recognised in every European Union member state.
