Vehicle Identity Certificates / Birth Certificate.

覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧

A Vehicle Identity Certificate is a document that is produced by Volkswagen which contains information about a vehicle.

 

There are a few reasons for requiring a Vehicle Identity Certificate :

1.  Transporters prior to 1958 had no M plate fitted from the factory.

2.  Some vehicles lose or are missing their M plates.

3.  The owner needs or would like confirmation of his/hers vehicle details.

 

A Vehicle Identity Certificate contains details about your vehicle such as:

Date of Manufacture

Chassis Number

Model Number & Engine Number/Size

Original Paint Colour Schemes & Upholstery Codes

Original Country of Export Destination

Factory Fitted Options or Extras

 

If you wish to obtain a Identity Certificate from Volkswagen, you can contact them via email, the website or by post.
