Certificate of conformity
Discussion
I've never done it for a Porsche, but when I needed one for my 1400GTR I just wrote to Kawasaki and they sent one back by return of post.
No cost, no drama.
It's not specific to your car, but to the model, so it's very straight-forward.
Email or call Porsche GB.

Are you a member of PCGB, as you can get them for free if so? Otherwise try your OPC, or Porsche UK direct.
Not true, That's for a Certificate of Authenticity. Certificate of Conformity, is a German document, so it does not matter which hq you get it from as it is printed by the Factory, and will be in German regardless.
Details on Porsche Website, So you will need to contact them.
The form can be downloaded here.

I registered my 911 in France 2 weeks ago.
You need to write to the French importer in Paris (billancourt), send a cheque for eur180 and they will send you what you need. Mine was a 1985 car, so predates CofC. I recommend you check the price, as I was told eur160 and had to write again....
I can dig out the proper address and email - guy called Franck deals with homologation issues.
Good luck - I can help with all the other paperwork you need at the centre d'impots and prefecture too if you want.
You could try a C of A - but it might not work. If you can get one free it might be worth a shot. On my other car the BMW dealer I bought it from gave me a free French language CofC as goodwill - the local BMW dealer wanted eur250 for the same document...
Ps bear in mind you will also need (in my experience) the CofC to get your Controle Technique, depending on where you take it (I used Autosur as it was in my village).

Does the certificate of conformity have to be in French? It is 95GBP Porsche Uk versus 160 euros in French.. I will PM for the other details.. It seems like the pistonhead forums are solving all my questions. The car was even found on pistonheads......
Have you tried Porsche Germany, or maybe the local French OPC on the basis that they may get your future service business?

Yes deffo in French. If you need confirmation try www.boxster-cayman.com (French site). Quite a few people import RHD cars to France now and the Prefecture do indeed require it in French.Nobbles said:

Hi, on the road at the moment, no proper email access.Being in French is probably important. My cofc equivalent was called an 'attestation d'identification' and in French - but was basically a letter on Porsche headed paper, with chassis no. and other basic info like weights etc.
it's ridiculous that the French are requiring a CoC for a car that is already registered in an EU country.
what happened to free movement of goods and services, which is supposed to underpin the EU???
a car that can be registered in an EU country is type approved for the whole of the EU, and there should not be any need for any further documentation.
when you register a French car in the UK, we don't ask for a CoC, do we?

It doesn't obstruct the freedom of movement of anything. It really is no a big deal having it done by Porsche France rather then Porsche GB.what happened to free movement of goods and services, which is supposed to underpin the EU???

The DVLA will need the COC to register a car in the UK. The procedures are very similar in either countries.

But SFO makes a valid point, if the car is already registered in another member state it should not need any paper work from the factory to state that it can also be registered in another member state.
