How to Request a European Certificate of Conformity (COC) in Riudellots de la Selva: Downloadable Template

If you have recently imported a vehicle to Spain or are looking to register a foreign car in the province of Girona, you will inevitably encounter the requirement for a European Certificate of Conformity (COC). This document is the manufacturer's declaration that your vehicle meets the technical standards required by the European Union. Without it, the ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) in Riudellots de la Selva will not be able to process your registration. This guide provides you with the exact template you need to request this document from the manufacturer or official representative.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Riudellots de la Selva

The Certificate of Conformity is not issued by the town hall, but by the vehicle manufacturer. You must submit your request to the brand’s official representative in Spain. Once you receive the document, you will need to present it at the ITV station located in Riudellots de la Selva to undergo the technical inspection for vehicle registration (Matriculación).

• Step 1: Fill out the template below with your vehicle's specific details (VIN, make, model).
• Step 2: Send the signed document via certified mail (Burofax) or via the manufacturer’s official customer service portal.
• Step 3: Once received, book an appointment at the Riudellots de la Selva ITV station.

Additional documentation required

To ensure your request is processed without delays, you should always attach the following documents along with the template:

• A clear copy of the vehicle's foreign registration document (Permiso de Circulación).
• A copy of your passport or DNI/NIE.
• Proof of payment of the manufacturer's administrative fees (if applicable).
• A copy of the purchase invoice or bill of sale, if the vehicle was recently acquired.

Expert Tip: Always request the COC in the language of the manufacturer's headquarters if the Spanish branch is unresponsive, but prioritize the Spanish branch first to ensure compliance with DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) standards. If you are struggling with the process at the Riudellots de la Selva ITV, ensure your VIN number is perfectly legible on the chassis, as inspectors will verify this against the COC document immediately upon arrival.
