Documents you need to legalize an imported car

The four required documents

• Complete registration certificate from the country of origin — in several countries it comes in two parts, and you need both.
• The owner's ID document.
• Transport document (CMR) or the valid insurance the car traveled with.
• Invoice and receipt, or other proof of payment, for the transport.

Those added depending on the case

• Certificate of Conformity (COC) — the basis for type approval and for calculating the ISV. If you don't have it yet, we order it for you.
• IMT Form 9 (Modelo 9) — the application for license plate assignment, which ComfyLand prepares from your request details. You can also download it from our supporting documents.
• Inspection for license plate assignment — the result of the technical inspection.
• Bill of sale, if there is one.
• Single Vehicle Document (DUA), once it exists.

If the car belongs to a company

The request is made in the company's name, with its tax number (NIPC) and the permanent commercial certificate code, and names a contact person. In addition to the four required documents, you add the commercial invoice; Form 9 and the DUA, when they exist, must be notarized.

How to send them

Everything is attached in the legalization request form, from your phone or computer — legible photos or PDFs. If anything is missing, the team lets you know and tells you how to send it. To see what happens next, read the step-by-step legalization guide.
