VW Age Certificates – How to Obtain Proof of Your Vehicle’s Age

If you’re looking to register a historic Volkswagen with the DVLA, you’ll need proof of its manufacturing date. Until recently, our club was able to assist with this process. However, due to the retirement of our age expert, Rod, we can no longer provide age verification services.

Rod dedicated years to building his knowledge, records, and contacts, making him an invaluable resource for our club. Unfortunately, this expertise wasn’t something that could be easily passed on. While we’re unable to offer this service ourselves, we’re happy to guide you in the right direction!

Where to Get Your VW Age Certificate

The Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg now offers a Data Sheet that links your vehicle’s chassis number (VIN) to its production date. This document is recognised by the DVLA as valid proof of age for your VW.

We understand that registering a historic VW can feel like a complex process, but we’re still here to support our members however we can. If you have any general questions, feel free to reach out, and we’ll do our best to help!
