I registered for AOS about a year ago. For AOS you need to have valid VAT payer code and some "proof" that you are allowed to do car service which they call "company’s trade certificate".

Thank you for this info. The "proof" or "company’s trade certificate" is some document issued by local/country authority?

Under the FAQ at AOS web page, this is written for the registration process. Is this related to the "proof" document?

"So-called independent operators are authorized to have access according to the Block Exemption Regulation (EC) 461/2010 and Regulation (EC) 715/2007. For BMW Motorrad, the Euro type approval regulation no. 168/2013 which is valid anywhere in Europe and the delegated regulation (EU) no. 44/2014 of the European Commission apply. The approval can be issued on a special basis in individual cases .In every case the BMW Group checks the approval as part of the registration. A detailed description of the approval prerequisites can be found in our terms of use under §3 Approval."

In my case I sent them company registration certificate in local language. But pointed out that specific item in it is translated as "main areas of activity" and that item included servicing of cars.
