9.4 What do I do if I’ve lost my car documents?
OPENLANE does not keep copies of vehicle documents. But if you can’t find them, you lose them or they are stolen, there’s still no need to panic.
The first thing to do is contact the local vehicle registration department for the country where you intended on registering the vehicle. They will then contact the registration department of the country where the vehicle was first registered.
It may take a little while for them to request, receive and check all the information. However, once finished, your local registration department will decide whether or not the vehicle can be registered based on the information they have.
OPENLANE have no input into or influence over this decision. We do wish you every success. For more information on this subject, please consult Article 5.2 of the European Directive 1999/37/EC of 29 April 1999 on the registration documents for vehicles.
