Why is the Daihatsu certificate of conformity essential for your vehicle?
Do you own a Daihatsu or are you considering purchasing one? Before you can fully enjoy your vehicle on French roads, you need a crucial administrative document: the Daihatsu certificate of conformity . This precious document, sometimes overlooked, nevertheless plays a decisive role in the registration process of your vehicle. To facilitate your administrative procedures, you can obtain this official document directly through our specialized Daihatsu certificate of conformity service .
What exactly is a Daihatsu Certificate of Conformity?
The Certificate of Conformity , also known by the acronym COC (Certificate of Conformity), is an official document issued by the manufacturer certifying that your Daihatsu vehicle complies with all current European standards . This document lists all the technical characteristics of your vehicle: chassis number, engine type, pollutant emissions, dimensions, and many other essential specifications. The Japanese brand Daihatsu, although less present on the French market in recent years, still has many models in circulation such as the Terios, Sirion or Copen. For all these vehicles, this document remains essential, particularly when importing or re-registering.
Why do you need a certificate of conformity for your Daihatsu?
Obtaining this document is not a simple administrative formality, but a legal obligation in several situations:
For registration in France
The certificate is required by the prefectural services when first registering a Daihatsu vehicle in France. Without it, you won't be able to obtain your registration document and therefore drive legally.
For the importation of a vehicle
If you purchased your Daihatsu abroad, even within the European Union, the homologation process requires this certificate to prove that the vehicle meets French requirements.
In case of loss of original documents
Following the loss of original documents or when purchasing a used vehicle without complete papers, this document allows you to reconstruct the registration file. Did you know that vehicle approval has become stricter with the evolution of environmental standards ? Older Daihatsu vehicles sometimes have to go through a more complex process to obtain their compliance, particularly with respect to Euro 6 standards.
