EU & UK eCoC readiness tracker: which National Access Points are live — and who actually runs them

No single EU-wide switch

From 29 November 2026, electronic Certificates of Conformity (eCoC, IVI 2.0 XML) become the mandatory way to make conformity data available for newly manufactured M, N and O category vehicles across the EU — and, on a parallel timeline, in the UK. But each Member State designates its own National Access Point (NAP), on its own timeline, and the UK runs a separate system entirely. EUCARIS has confirmed there is no central public registry of readiness.

That leaves manufacturers and distributors with a practical problem: which markets can actually receive a signed eCoC today, and which still require paper? This page tracks that — and, just as importantly, who the eCoC-responsible authority actually is in each market.

First, a trap to avoid: three different authorities

Under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/133 (and its assimilated UK equivalent), three roles are involved — and they are frequently not the same organisation:

• Type-approval authority — issues approvals and, in most countries, hosts the national CoC database.
• Registration authority — registers the vehicle and receives the eCoC at the point of registration.
• NAP operator — runs the eCoC data exchange and connects to EUCARIS (whose central hub is operated by RDW, Netherlands). The UK's VCA is the exception: it runs a standalone system outside EUCARIS.

The eCoC-responsible body is usually the type-approval / CoC-database authority — not the registration office. Clean single-body cases where all three coincide: Netherlands (RDW) and Germany (KBA).

Compiled from primary sources (national authorities, Légifrance, the French DGEC FAQ of 18 May 2026, MIT, the VCA, EUCARIS/EReg, Regulations (EU) 2018/858 and 2021/133), verified to mid-July 2026.

Markets in focus

The three scenarios you'll face in parallel

What this means for importers and registration agents

• Map each market to its scenario and its correct authority — don't assume the registration office is the eCoC NAP.
• Plan a dual regime through 29 November 2026 — paper and digital in parallel; paper doesn't disappear on any single date.
• Digitally supplied CoCs for vehicles built after the deadline must be eIDAS-signed IVI 2.0 XML — legacy 1.x files must be converted; the paper transition does not authorise unsigned XML.
• Selling into both the UK and the EU? Submit to the VCA and to the relevant EU NAP separately — there is no interconnection between them.
• Get your QTSP signing certificate now — it must be from a provider on the EU Trusted List, accepted across all NAPs. It's the longest-lead item.

Methodology & sources

Statuses are compiled from publicly available primary sources and verified to mid-July 2026: Regulations (EU) 2018/858 (Art. 37) and 2021/133 with secure-exchange rules 2024/1061; the French DGEC's Electronic Certificates of Conformity — answers to manufacturers' questions (18 May 2026); the VCA's eCoC guidance; EUCARIS IVI service documentation and EReg Topic Group XII / IVI-NAP guidance; and national authority publications (RDW, KBA, VCA, UTAC-OTC, RAR, IMT, COI/CEPiK, Traficom, Transportstyrelsen, DGT, MIT and others as cited per row).

This is not legal advice and readiness can change without notice — verify with the relevant authority before acting. We revise this page as new information is confirmed; the date at the top reflects the latest revision.
