Need a Certificate of Conformity for your car?

We assist hundreds of customers each month to register their cars with a CoC. It is one of the most popular routes to registration but not always the best depending on the car.

Once you fill out a quote form we will provide you with the cheapest way to register your car. If you need help simply ordering the CoC then we can help solely with that.

But as a full service import company we are here to take the hassle out registering your car so don’t hesitate to get in touch as we can take care of your import at any point of the process (even if you are yet to transport it to the United Kingdom).

We like to say no two cars are alike so getting a quote is the best way to know for certain!

How long does it take to get a CoC for an MG

The Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for a car is a document that certifies that the car complies with the technical and safety standards of the country or region it was manufactured for. The time it takes to obtain a CoC for an MG or any other car can vary depending on several factors:

  1. Manufacturer’s Availability: Some manufacturers offer CoCs for their cars directly, while others might require you to go through a specific process. The time it takes can depend on how efficiently the manufacturer can provide the document.
  2. Regulatory Requirements: Different countries and regions have varying requirements for obtaining a CoC. The time it takes might be influenced by the specific procedures and regulations in your country.
  3. Vehicle Information: The time it takes can also depend on how quickly you can provide the necessary car information to the manufacturer or relevant authority. This might include the car’s VIN, production date, and other details.
  4. Processing Time: The processing time of the manufacturer or authority responsible for issuing the CoC can vary. Some might process requests relatively quickly, while others might take longer due to administrative processes.
  5. Communication and Documentation: Efficient communication and providing accurate documentation can help expedite the process. Make sure you provide all required information correctly.
  6. Location: Your location and the location of the manufacturer’s office or the relevant authority can affect the time it takes for the CoC to be issued and delivered to you.

It’s best to contact the manufacturer or the appropriate regulatory authority in your country to inquire about the specific process and estimated timeframe for obtaining a CoC for your MG car. They will be able to provide you with accurate information based on your individual circumstances and location.
