To simplify your administrative procedures and save you unnecessary hassle, we offer a dedicated service to help you obtain your Dacia Certificate of Conformity quickly and easily.
What is the Dacia certificate of conformity?
The Certificate of Conformity , also known by the acronym COC (Certificate of Conformity), is an official document issued by the manufacturer Dacia. This valuable document certifies that your vehicle complies with the European technical and environmental standards in force at the time of its manufacture.
This document lists all the technical characteristics of your vehicle: chassis number (VIN), engine type, CO2 emissions, noise level, dimensions, authorized masses and loads, etc. This information is essential for the registration services which check the conformity of your Dacia before authorizing it to circulate on French roads.
Whether you own a Sandero, Duster, Logan, or any other model in the range, the certificate is identical in form and function. Only the technical information it contains varies depending on the model and version of your vehicle.
Why do you need a Dacia certificate of conformity?
The Dacia COC proves essential in several situations:
When registering a vehicle imported from a European country, the prefectural services require this document to verify that the vehicle complies with French standards. Without it, registration will be refused, making it impossible to legally drive your vehicle.
For re-registration following the loss of the original registration document, the certificate may be requested to confirm the vehicle's characteristics.
During a technical inspection , in case of doubt about certain technical characteristics not visible on the registration document, the certificate of conformity can serve as an official reference.
If you are considering purchasing a Cupra or another European brand, be aware that the procedure is similar, with each manufacturer issuing its own certificate according to a standardised European format.
How to obtain your Dacia certificate of conformity?
There are several options available to you to obtain this essential document:
Contact Dacia directly : You can contact Dacia's after-sales service , but this process can take several weeks and require numerous administrative exchanges.

The particularities of the Dacia certificate of conformity
Dacia, a subsidiary of the Renault group, has its own specific requirements for its certificate of conformity. The document is issued in Romania, the brand's home country, but adheres to the standardized European format.
Dacia's homologation engineers ensure that all models comply with ever-changing European standards . Therefore, your certificate will reflect the standards in effect at the time your vehicle was produced, not necessarily the latest ones.
For older models, the process can be more complex as homologation databases have evolved. However, our department has the resources to handle these specific cases thanks to our network of administrative agents specialized in registration.
