Changing the registration entry after conversion

Fitting a new body or refrigeration equipment is a change to the vehicle's design that must be officially registered. We assist with the manufacturer's documents usually required for this procedure.

Quote is based on body, chassis and temperature range.

What counts as a conversion

A conversion includes fitting a new body superstructure on a chassis (a refrigerator, an insulated or dry-freight van, a flatbed platform), installing refrigeration equipment, and any change to the vehicle's weight, dimensions or category compared with the factory data.

Roadworthiness test after a conversion

The order is: first the conversion and the paperwork for the body, then the entry in the vehicle registration document, and only then the next roadworthiness test. Bring the vehicle in with a new body but the old data on paper and the inspector will see a mismatch in dimensions, mass or category — and may refuse: the actual build does not match the registered one.

We do not carry out the test itself — that is done at an accredited station. Our part is the documentation for the body and the refrigeration unit, the papers the vehicle needs to have its changes registered.

The question people ask most

“Re-registering the roadworthiness test”, “re-register the inspection” and “re-registration after conversion” — in everyday speech this is called in different ways, but it is one and the same thing: bringing the vehicle record into line with what is actually fitted. While the data disagree, questions arise not only at the inspection station but also on sale, on insurance and on the road.

A document set prepared in advance shortens the procedure: when you order a body, ask for the full package for the superstructure straight away, not after the vehicle has already been turned back.

Why the vehicle-passport entry is needed

The vehicle passport must reflect the vehicle's actual specifications. If it lists one body type while another is actually fitted, this can be grounds for a failed inspection, questions when arranging comprehensive insurance, or problems at sale — the buyer and insurer rely precisely on the vehicle-passport data.

Which documents are usually needed

The general logic of the procedure in Kazakhstan is as follows:

The exact list of documents and the procedure may differ by region and change from time to time, so it's best to check the current list directly with the traffic police or the public service centre at the vehicle's place of registration.

Why COND

How this works when ordering a body from COND

🏭

A factory, not a middleman

For every superstructure we build we supply the manufacturer's documents required to register the change of construction.

📄

No need to hunt for certificates

No need to find someone to certify the fitted body — the factory already holds the documents.

Register it right away

The longer the body is used without the registration entry, the more likely questions become at the scheduled inspection.

💬

We advise you when ordering

If you are unsure which documents your case requires, check with the manager when placing your order.

When to register it

Registration is best not put off

It is best to deal with the paperwork as soon as the vehicle is handed over: the longer a body is used without the note in the registration document, the more likely questions become at the scheduled inspection.

The exact list of documents depends on the region of registration, so it is clarified while the body is being ordered — by the time the vehicle is handed over, everything needed is already at hand.

FAQ

FAQ

Fitting a new body superstructure onto the chassis (a refrigerated, isothermal or dry-freight van body, or a dropside platform), installing refrigeration equipment, and any change to the vehicle's weight, dimensions or category compared with the factory data.
The registration document must reflect the vehicle's actual specification. A mismatch between the entry and the real construction can lead to a failed inspection, questions when arranging insurance, or problems when selling the vehicle.
Yes — we are the manufacturing plant, so for every superstructure we issue the manufacturer's documents normally required to register a change of construction. Check the exact list with the road police or Public Service Centre where the vehicle is registered, as the procedure varies by region.
The roadworthiness test itself is not re-registered — it is taken again when it falls due. What is re-registered is the vehicle record: fitting a body changes the dimensions, the weight and sometimes the category, and that goes into the vehicle document. The order is: first the paperwork for the body and the entry in the vehicle document, then the next roadworthiness test. Arriving at the station with a new body and old data, the inspector sees the discrepancy and may refuse.
