Where to Find the Vehicle Compliance Certificate Number?
2 Answers
The vehicle compliance certificate number can be found on the vehicle compliance certificate, located in the upper right corner of the first page of the motor vehicle registration certificate, consisting of 17 digits. The vehicle compliance certificate is issued with the vehicle upon leaving the factory. It needs to be submitted to the vehicle management office for archiving during the vehicle registration process, and the motor vehicle registration certificate is then replaced. Therefore, the compliance certificate for unlicensed vehicles should be in the hands of the dealer, while for licensed vehicles, it is stored in the archives of the vehicle management office. The vehicle compliance certificate is an important document for the vehicle and is essential for vehicle registration. Only vehicles with a compliance certificate meet the national requirements for motor vehicle equipment quality and related standards. National regulations stipulate that the compliance certificate for a new vehicle must accompany the vehicle at all times, meaning the certificate arrives when the vehicle does, and it should be taken away together with the vehicle upon delivery.
As someone who has always driven used cars, I know all about the vehicle certification number. It usually comes in the document folder provided by the dealer when picking up a new car - an A4-sized certificate clearly showing the number and vehicle details. The standard storage spot is the small document folder in the glove compartment, where I always keep mine to prevent loss since it's essential for registration. Last year when helping a friend locate his, we had to search through the trunk storage compartments before finding it. My advice to new car owners: double-check all documents with the dealer at pickup, then establish a fixed storage spot at home. If lost, immediately contact the original dealership for replacement - they can retrieve it from their backup system. Spending extra time safeguarding this document saves future headaches, especially when selling as buyers always require it for information verification.
