Help preserve the golden age of driving history while unlocking exclusive global benefits for your vehicle. The Association Internationale d’Attelage de Tradition (AIAT) is now officially accepting submissions for our prestigious registry of traditional carriages built prior to 1945. By registering your carriage, you do more than safeguard its history—you secure its place in the global driving community and protect your investment for generations to come.
How the Process Works
Our streamlined authentication process ensures the highest standards of historical accuracy while remaining straightforward for carriage owners:
1. Submit Details: Complete our online application by providing your carriage’s manufacturer, type, current condition, full known history, and any available documentation of provenance.
2. Expert Review: A member of our internationally approved panel of qualified carriage experts will meticulously vet your credentials and historical data.
3. Receive Certification: Once verified, your vehicle will be officially entered into the global registry, and you will be issued a prestigious AIAT Certificate of Registration.
4. Timings: Given the nature of authentication, please allow up to 28 days for issue of an AIAT Authentication certificate. We will keep you informed of any progress.
