About

Built for the bodybuilder's office, not the boardroom.

CoC AutoDocs does one job: the simplest route to an eCoC file the VCA will accept. A short form, checked against the VCA's published rules, signed on your own PC, ready to upload.

Where it came from

From 29 November 2026, vehicles completed under GB type approval need an electronic Certificate of Conformity: the same facts as the paper certificate, in the VCA's IVI XML format, digitally signed and uploaded to their portal. For a volume manufacturer that is an IT project with a budget to match. For a small bodybuilder it is a technical file the office has to get exactly right for every vehicle, and the software on offer was built for companies fifty times their size, at prices to match. CoC AutoDocs was built to close that gap: the file made right, signed, and priced for a workshop rather than a factory.

What we believe

Small manufacturers aren't small OEMs

You don't need ERP integration, EU submission or a 21-week rollout. You need the file made right and signed, in the time it takes to answer the phone.

Your data is yours

Your signing key stays on your PC, where we can never read it. Your files and history are stored in an EU data centre, encrypted in transit, and only your team can open them in the app. Our own access is limited to running and supporting the service, and every administrative action is logged. You upload to the VCA yourself, under your own login.

Say what the VCA say

No "VCA approved", no "guaranteed acceptance". We check files against the VCA's published schema and sign to the standard their guidance points to. The decision is always theirs.
