When the EPTS is issued
The car first clears customs. Then the record is created and the buyer receives the EPTS number and an electronic extract.
What the record contains
- VIN, make and model
- Production year and engine
- Power, displacement and fuel type
- Emission class
- Owner details
What to check
Check the VIN, model, year and engine against the documents and the actual car. Discrepancies should be fixed before the record is created.
