CVO statement: what does it entail?

When do I need a CVO statement?

You need a CVO statement when exporting a car with a Dutch license plate. A Dutch license plate often contains insufficient data for many admission authorities. Therefore, additional information may be needed. With a CVO you can prove that the vehicle meets all guidelines. This statement is accepted at every inspection in every country. If you want to export a car, it is therefore best to request a CVO declaration.

Why a CVO statement?

The EU has established directives in areas such as the environment and safety. Every vehicle driving on the European road network must therefore comply with these directives. With a CVO statement you can prove that your vehicle does indeed meet these guidelines.

Do you need to apply for a CVO statement?

With VWE 's service, you can easily print this document yourself. The document is translated into the most common languages to better meet the needs of the importing country. To apply for a CVO declaration, you need two documents:

• A copy of the registration certificate of the holder of the registration certificate.

The cost of a CVO depends on the model of car and the country of origin. Therefore, the price quickly ranges between €50 and €300. Do you need the certificate before a certain date? Then make sure you apply for it on time.

Need CVO car documents?

If you are going to export a car, you will need a number of documents. Consider the proof of purchase, the original registration certificate and the car's maintenance history.

Without a CVO, the car may not always be registered. You can always be on the safe side and apply for a COV. With this you can often import your car without problems into the country of destination.

How do you apply for a CVO?
