FAQ | What Documents Are Issued With New Trailers

faqs -> documentation

A number of documents are issued with each new trailer in the UK including:


DVSA Issued

VTG6 - "plating certificate" hard copy affixed to the trailer

VTG7 - "plating certificate" hard + electronic copy issued to the customer

CTS - Consent to supply hard + electronic copy issued to the customer


Type Approval Documentation

CoC - Certificate of Conformity electronic copy issued to the customer.

Type Approval came into force in October 2012, when CoCs first started to be issued on some trailers.  CoCs were issued for all trailers from mid 2013.


From 20 March 2023, the DVSA will be issuing electronic copies alongside hard copy VTG and CTS certificates with a view to eventually phasing hard copies out in the future.

On demand, Don-Bur can also issue PDI sheets (Pre Delivery Inspection).
