What we need from you
Your chassis number, the 17-character VIN, and 2 documents depending on your situation. Vehicle from 1996 or newer :
Identity card or passport, the page with the photo.
The Swiss registration certificate, grey. One photo is enough: the holder and the vehicle are shown together.
The document from the country of registration: Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I in Germany, carte grise in France, carta di circolazione in Italy. Photograph all sides that contain data.
The document must contain the chassis number (VIN) and your name: this proves to the manufacturer that the vehicle is yours. Garage invoice, sales contract or order form.
Everything is submitted online when you place your order. Your documents are encrypted upon receipt and stored outside the public website. First order? See the four-step process.

The most common Mini models in Switzerland

Ranking based on vehicles in circulation (SwissCarInfo data). Your model is not listed? The order works the same way: the chassis number is what counts.
Recognising a Mini chassis number
The first three characters of the chassis number (VIN) identify the manufacturer: this is the WMI code. 5 prefixes are assigned to Mini in our database:
SAXTW7TX5WMWWMZ
If your number starts with one of these prefixes, our check recognises the brand automatically. A different prefix does not mean the vehicle is excluded: some models are built by another manufacturer of the group. Check my chassis number.
