Certificate of Conformity

Who made the Motorhome in Italy.

You shouldn't need a CoC if the vehicle was previously registered.
from Revenue s own site:

Required Vehicle Registration Documents
Unregistered Vehicles

An unregistered vehicle will only be registered on production of the appropriate EU Type Approval Documentation - European Community Whole Vehicle Type-Approval (ECWVTA) Certificate of Conformity (COC), Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) or National Small Series Type-Approval (NSSTA).

The manufacturer should be contacted regarding a COC, and the NSAI should be contacted regarding IVA or NSSTA.

Previously Registered Vehicles

A previously registered vehicle will only be registered on production of a foreign certificate of registration, a certificate of permanent exportation or a certificate of de-registration. Other documentation such as a salvage certificate will not be accepted for registration purposes. If you have not got one of these documents, you should contact the registration authority of the State from which the vehicle was imported (or in the case of vehicles coming from the UK, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing AgencyExternal link)

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for your help with this.
1. The campervan is from 1996.
2. Its an actual motorhome that was built as a motorhome, it was never a conversion.
3. It was imported from Italy to the Netherlands and then I purchased it from the Netherlands. I've first contacted the Netherlands and couldn't get anything from them as they said it was an Italian Import. I've tried contacting Ford in Italy and been getting the run around.
4. Thanks for suggesting the Certification company, I got onto them and they don't do CoC's for motorhomes
5. The Revenue are looking for the CoC because they won't register it without it.

It's a long shot but try give these a ring and explain what you're looking for. English speaking Contact numbers in the link https://www.eurococ.eu/en/contact-us

It's worth a try anyway.

I tried to do it manually but I dont have all the details of you're van. eg Vin number Etc.

That's why I asked where you are because I would recommend you go to the VTN centre on the long mile road as done the form for me to convert my van to campervan .who are also recognized motor engineers by the Revenue

Yes the are. My point being that same as you . I think that is the sort of place that Melanie should go to in order to get the correct information. that's exactly why I asked where she is based , in order to direct her towards , as far as i remember there is about 14 centers around Ireland that are accepted by and recommended by Revenue. The wont charge her for the correct information.

But Thorn .
As for how expensive they are , I cant remember what the charged ,it was irreverent in the scheme of the whole process , I was just glad to have got trough everything and on the road.

Thanks everyone for your help. This has been very useful.
I'm living in Dublin but i'm storing the Camper at home in my mom's in Cork.

I think I'm going to do that and get onto the engineering company.

This is a list on the Suitably Qualified Individual (SQI)
Who are signed up with and are accepted buy revenue the to do the paperwork you require (from Revenues own website.)
There is one in Riverstick in Cork.
Give the one or two of them a call,explain your problems ,get a quote for doing the paperwork ,if you need your DOE get it all sorted at the same time.

Kismet has not returned to post or read since their last post 31/5/17.
Hopefully someone else with appropriate knowledge will come back to you.

I am i the same boat and planning to import 1996 factory built Ducato Previous owner did not have CoC and I can't get one online as the original manufacturer is long gone.
So what's the deal at the end, is the 2012 rule correct? If not, anyone knows if NSAI is the way to go.

Very frustrating.

I'm not being pedantic but i see this all the time where the donor vehicle is used to describe the camper, but did any of the Manufacturers actually do the conversion or build the motorhome.?

Fiat built the donor vehicle in your case ( Ducato ) who built the Motorhome / conversion.?

The Fiat Ducato is a light commercial vehicle jointly developed by FCA Italy and PSA Group (currently Stellantis) , and mainly manufactured by Sevel.
Every vehicle built will have a Certificate of Conformity so at the very least Fiat should be able to give you a copy of the Cert, if you send then an Email giving them a description ( motorhome or converted van) with a copy of the Logbook for the country it,s currently registered in, Chassis number, engine type, number, year and a copy of any other plates on the Vehicle..
If you only get a Cert for the Donor vehicle, then you can take this and the vehicle to an SQI and have him issue a Cert for the rest of the Camper.

Its always good idea to have with your paperwork a keep a copy of the original Logbook that came with the Camper. revenue will not give the original back.

Colin everyone understand the codes are the same all over the EU, except the NCT staff when you lodge your paperwork to register a van, it's one of the ridiculous requirement, along with having to know where the engine and chassis number are.

The problem is that the NCT Handbook they are working from, ( the same one that says you need to know ,what the engine is and where it is on the engine ) is not the same one as the one Revenue use. government departments are well known to not communicate with each other. then you get someone who just loves the page with the paragraph in the handbook that says the Customer is King, on the next page says Royalty don't need your help.
