How to Obtain Your European Certificate of Conformity (COC) in Dosbarrios: Downloadable Template

If you have imported a vehicle into Spain and need to register it, you will inevitably encounter the request for a Certificate of Conformity (COC). This document is the official declaration from the manufacturer that your vehicle meets the technical standards required for road use within the European Union. In Dosbarrios, as in the rest of Spain, this document is essential for the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) to process your vehicle's registration. Below, you will find a practical guide and a ready-to-use template to request this document from your vehicle's manufacturer.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Dosbarrios

The COC is not issued by the Dosbarrios Town Hall; it is issued by the vehicle manufacturer or their official representative in Spain. Once you have filled out the template below, you must send it via registered mail (correo certificado) or via the manufacturer’s official online portal. If you are handling your vehicle's registration at the local DGT office in Toledo (the provincial headquarters serving Dosbarrios), ensure you have the original stamped COC document, as they will not accept photocopies for the "Matriculación" process.

Additional documentation required

To ensure your request is processed without delays, you must attach the following documents to the template provided above:

• A clear copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
• A copy of the vehicle's registration document from the country of origin (Permiso de Circulación).
• A copy of the bill of sale (Factura de compra) or the purchase contract to prove you are the current legal owner.
• Proof of payment of the manufacturer’s administrative fee (if applicable, they will provide this once they acknowledge your request).

Expert Tip: Always request the COC in the language of the manufacturer's headquarters if possible, but ensure it includes the EU approval number clearly visible. If you are buying a used car in Spain, always check if the seller already possesses the original COC, as this will save you between 100€ and 300€ in administrative fees and several weeks of waiting time. If you have any doubts regarding the technical specifications, verify them against the "Ficha Técnica" before submitting your application to the DGT.
