Vehicle Registration Document
The registration document records the vehicle's official details and keeper.
What is Vehicle Registration Document?
It lists VIN, weights and emissions class. It is needed for registration and sale. Formats differ by country. In the EU it consists of a standard set of codes, so a field such as F.1 means the same in every country. Some countries split it into two parts, one kept in the car and one at home. Changes such as new wheels, engine conversions or a change of colour may need to be recorded.
How it works
Authorities issue it when the car is registered.
Why it matters for your car
Keep it safe. Changes must be reported.
