, by O. V., 1 min reading time
The European Certificate of Conformity is also certified by the COC and the Manufacturer's Certificate of Conformity is a European document required to register in France when the vehicle has a European origin subject to a Community reception. This allows you to obtain the definition gray card (registration certificate) of your vehicle or trailer purchased abroad.
The requirements regarding the registration document for a used or new vehicle purchased outside France, the 'Cartes Grises' service expects you to provide the European certificate of conformity.
On the certificate of conformity you will find the vehicle version, the variant, the model, the Community receipt number as well as the 'CNIT'.
The Community receipt number is located in box K and guarantees the vehicle certificate for which the manufacturer is obliged to present a European COC certificate of conformity.
In addition, the brand's homologation service can certify that the vehicle complies with European regulations.
The 'CNIT' allows the 'ANTS' to issue your new French grey card. The CNIT is the 'National Type Identification Code' and consists of 12 to 15 characters. It is sent to vehicles by the National Vehicle Reception Centre as part of the facilitation of vehicle registration in France.
The purpose of the Certificate of Conformity is to facilitate the interchange of vehicles between European countries. The Certificate of Conformity simplifies the registration of the certificate without having to do additional technical inspections by TUV in the member states of the European Union.
Certain vehicles do not have a COC and in this case it will be necessary to order the certificate of identification on a national type where you will find the version, the variant and the CNIT number.
