I sent a letter asking for info for my car in June of 1995 and included a $5 bill as I didn't know if they charged anything or not.

No answer.

I wrote again two months later and reminded them of my June letter and the money. They did respond a month or so later with a birth certificate in letter form with all my cars info and also sent me a Wolfsburg Museum book for the delay.

Things were not speedy even then.

I have been waiting over 10 weeks, I have tried to send a reply email but it keeps getting rejected. Does anybody have a good email contact regarding these certificates?

Here the answer of the museum:

I’m very sorry but the reason is the shortage of personnel and restructuring since January 2014.
In the past we were 4 person for this service and now I’m alone.
I do the best I can but you have to wait longer than regular.

AutoMuseum

Just pass my order in march...

Thanks for the info, VW Group Sales are doing very well, I wonder why the museum staff has been cut down.
Thanks

I know that the VW Classics is being run by new suits as well. Shit is not going as smoothly as I'm used to. Hopefully this is just temporary.

I got my car Aug 17, 2014. Ordered my certificate the next day. I got it in 6 business days! I am sure they processed it that day as mailing from Germany to Canada probably took 5 days.

A bunch of my m codes are missing and that's kinda why I wanted it.

You are one of the lucky ones, I ordered on 5/20/14 and only received the acknowledgment that they received the order and payment.
anybody else been waiting as long as I have been?

So the VW Museum finally replied and said the same thing to me that he has said to other Samba members, I'm the only one doing the research and it will take a minimum of 6 months.
I think a lot of vintage VW owners are still their customer for new cars and should do a better job with this. My wife and I just spent 50K + for a new TDI Touareg and I also own a 2010 GTI. So I wonder how many vintage VW owners are still buying their cars today?
Thanks, Mike

Of course she's lucky. She's Canadian. Everyone likes Canadians because they are polite and awesome.

When we forget our National anthem at a hockey game, they sing it for us...

Finally after 10 months I received my certificate and Yes my engine is the original to car. I had a hunch it was and it makes me pretty happy.
Good luck to all others that are waiting.

One year ago yesterday, I requested a birth certificate for my 1955 RHD beetle. I quickly received an email saying they received my order then received an email about 6 months later basically saying that they're understaffed and overworked. Still waiting.....

There has got to be a better way.
