Step 1: Get Your Ride Ready for the Big Move
Before shipping your car to Poland, let’s check that everything is ready for the road ahead! Start by washing it well and checking for any bumps or scratches. This is especially important if you’re sending a classic car or a sleek sports model — you want to keep it looking sharp! Remember to empty the gas tank; customs usually prefer it to be almost empty. Oh, and don’t forget to unplug the battery and wrap the cables to avoid mishaps.
Step 2: Gather Your Paperwork
Now that your car is all set, it’s time to sort out the paperwork. Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll need for regulations when shipping a car to Poland:
- Your full name and contact number.
- A clear copy of your passport (make sure your photo and passport number are visible).
- The name and contact info of the person receiving the car.
- If you financed the car, grab a notarized release from your lender.
- Your initial sales document.
- For cars over ten years old, you’ll need proof of ownership.
- Provide certified copies of the sales receipt, including the VIN, for heavy-duty or farm vehicles.
It’s also a good idea to keep copies of everything for yourself!
