Frequently asked questions

Where do I find the type approval number?

In the vehicle registration document (Fahrzeugausweis), field 24. It usually has six characters, for example 1SC352, sometimes fewer for older vehicles. If it says “IVI”, the vehicle was registered with an electronic data sheet: search with the VIN from field 23 to get the matching electronic data sheet.

Where does the data come from?

From the open data of the Swiss Federal Roads Office (FEDRO/ASTRA). We compare it automatically every Sunday.

Which vehicles are covered?

For type approvals from 1985 we show all technical data; from 1985 to 1995 also the original type certificate as PDF. For older types there is the original scan. Newer vehicles with EU type approval can be found by VIN in the electronic data sheet.

Is this an official document?

No. typenscheine.com is not a service of the Swiss Confederation. We prepare public FEDRO data; the PDFs also come from FEDRO. The official type certificate is authoritative.

Are the certificates also available in French?

The original PDFs usually exist in German and French, and you can switch between them. The website itself is available in German, French, Italian and English.

Can I print a type certificate?

Yes. Print the data with one click on “Print”; everything fits on one A4 page. The original PDFs can be opened, saved and printed.

Can I use several devices?

Yes. Your account works on phone, tablet and computer at the same time.

How do I cancel my subscription?

In your account under “Subscription and invoices”. The subscription runs until the end of the paid term and then ends at no further cost.
