Build date proof › Europe
Certificate of Origin
Year of production is what is guaranteed. For a car sitting near a 25-year boundary, a year is not enough - and at up to 95 days you will have waited a long time to find that out.

Year of production only
States a year and no month. Enough for the EPA's 21-year test, which is year arithmetic. Not enough for the DOT's 25-year test, which runs from a date.
What you have to supply
The VIN or chassis number, the model, your name, email and phone, and confirmation of ownership. No photographs, no documents.
Who can order it
Abarth: vehicles produced from 2007 only. No stated limits for Alfa Romeo, Fiat or Lancia.
Limits and gaps
The brand pages promise the year of production and the original configuration; a full day-and-month production date is not promised and appears to depend on what the archive holds. A date of sale may also appear - that is not a build date. No right of withdrawal, so no refunds.
Notes
Peugeot, Citroen and DS are not part of this programme despite being Stellantis brands - they go to L'Aventure. The separate Certification of Authenticity, with a committee inspection at Officine Classiche, is a provenance product, not a dating document. Do not buy it for import purposes.
