About FORGED CERTIFIED™

FORGED CERTIFIED™ is the professional vehicle protection standard, FC-VPS 01. It's earned, not bought — built on approved protection technology, professional application, a documented installation, and a registered protection history that stays with the vehicle.

When a vehicle carries the mark, it means the protection was done right and there's a record to prove it. Every certification follows the same five steps.

  1. Step 01: Protect

    Required FORGED protection systems are professionally applied or installed through a participating program.

  2. Step 02: Document

    The vehicle, VIN, participating dealer and installed protection systems are documented.

  3. Step 03: Register

    The vehicle and its protection record are registered through FORGED CONNECT™.

  4. Step 04: Certify

    The vehicle receives an individual FORGED CERTIFIED™ certification number and digital credential.

  5. Step 05: Verify

    Certification status and the vehicle's documented protection record can be digitally accessed and verified.

Why FORGED Certified

Protection shouldn't
stop at the paint.

A vehicle is more than its paint. FORGED CERTIFIED™ is designed to bring multiple professional protection technologies, approved coverage programs and ownership benefits together under one certification. The exact protection package can be configured around the needs of the dealer and customer.
