Correct documents for verification of origin

You always have to send us:

• Signed confirmation (if you have used our web service) or the application form.
• An original copy of the registration certificate from the country of origin. When verifying origin, we will check that the vehicle is free to be sold within the European Union and that the vehicle had been permanently registered in the previous country of registration. You should get the registration certificate from the seller.
  Please note that we need to have the originals of all registration certificates that have been issued (if there is more than one) and that we will not return any original documents sent in. 
• Sales document, receipt or similar documentation that shows how the vehicle became yours. You only need to send in a copy and you can conceal the price that you paid. The sales document should indicate that it constitutes a receipt, who the seller and purchaser are, what was sold and the date of sale. Please note that an identification number (chassis number, VIN) or other specific information about the vehicle must be shown. You should get the sales document from the seller.

If you have imported your vehicle from a country outside the EU or from an EEA country, you also have to send us:

• Proof of customs clearance. You can get this proof from the Swedish Customs Service, and it should show a customs ID and the vehicle's identification number. If you have cleared your vehicle through costoms in another EU country, you will receive a proof of customs clearence there.

If the vehicle is not previously registered, you should also in some cases send us one of the following documents:

• 'Certificate of conformity' (CoC). This means the vehicle's whole vehicle type approval. This applies if the vehicle is new (that is, lacks a permanent registration) and a certificate of this kind has been issued. You should get the whole vehicle type approval from the manufacturer or, in certain cases, from the general agent. Send us the original.
• A manufacturer's certificate if a registration document or a CoC has not been issued for the vehicle. Send a copy to us. The Swedish Motor Vehicle Inspection Company requires an original manufacturer's certificate for heavy vehicles and for light and heavy trailers. You should get the manufacturer's certificate from the manufacturer or general agent.
• A CE certificate if your vehicle is a new and unregistered all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile. You should get the CE certificate from the manufacturer, or in some cases the general agent. The certificate should show that your vehicle complies with a valid machinery directive. Send a copy to us, as the original will be needed at the registration inspection.

If you are applying for temporary registration, relocation goods or inherited property, you should also send us:

• A traffic insurance certificate if you are applying for temporary registration in conjunction with your verification of origin. Apply for traffic insurance with your Swedish insurance company.

• Documentation verifying that you have lived abroad for at least 12 months if you are applying for relocation goods in conjunction with your verification of origin. To meet the demands for relocation goods, you also  have to be able to show that you have owned and used the vehicle abroad for at least 12 months. For example, you can send us a copy of the traffic insurance you had while living abroad.

• Certificate verifying inheritance (for example, a will) if you are bringing in a vehicle classed as inherited property. You will also need to send us a copy of the death certificate.

Attach the documents, sign your application and pay the application fee as soon as you can. Please note that  you cannot send in cash, checks or other means of payment to the Swedish Transport Agency. The application fee for verification of origin must be paid specifically into the Swedish Transport Agency's account for verification of origin.
