In-service certification (WoF and CoF)

We're replacing VPN certificates at the end of the day on 11 April 2026.

The next time you log into the VPN after the change, you'll see a pop-up window warning you about the new certificate.

Click Yes to continue connecting to the VPN. You only need to do this once.

If you have problems connecting to the VPN, check if the pop-up window is hiding in the background behind your other windows.

This will ensure the vehicle details are captured correctly. The online form will be updated to include this function.

From mid-February inspecting organisation certificates of authority (COAs) will no longer be posted and sent by mail.

After receiving support from new light entry certifiers, we decided to adopt the proposed changes to the New Light Entry Certification appointment process.
