Ordner indeed. it seems the US English version of the site has that spelling error whereas the International English is slightly different.
So while I was looking I was wondering if anyone has gone for the "Volkswagen bundle"?
https://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.com/en_global/service/certificate-data-sheets.html
Using the old method via email to the VW museum quite sometime ago I gained my Ghia's "Zertifikat" and a separate page with facts about the engine number.
I'm wondering if anyone knows what extra detail is offered by this "Bundle". The Sample images aren't very sharp but I can make out very little detail but it look like most of what is shown is already published in the Owners manual.

I "ordnered" the VW bundle. $129 Euro. I have no idea about what comes with it until I get my package. I will certainly follow-up with a post.

I keep trying to order mine but they don’t have an option to pick the US for shipping.

I got mine fairly recently. They forgot to send me the info on my engine after i presented them with the original engine # so they resent me a whole new BC. No issue with shipping unless something has changed since December

My payment went through with PayPal. I even see the deduction from my account for $159.72 USD. I tried to register to track the process and got all the way to the point where they would send a confirmation code and it never came. I may need to send an email as well.

Happy day! My Birth Certificate showed up today from Germany just 4 weeks from ordering it.
Built June 19, 1969 and shipped to New York on June 22, 1969. Here is some photos of the packaging, very nice presentation.
One of my favorite things to find out as listed on page 2 special configuration is that my engine number is the original engine since the date of delivery. Ha, original engine, who would have known.

no luck online. sent an email, got a reply where they could assist me through that way, replied the info requested and nothing has happened. No charge on my credit card.
have sent a couple of emails as follow up and I'm just getting a bot answer.....any tip on where/how to "escalate" my request???
thanks

Very nice! We have the exact same car (1969 Toga White Coupe with Black Interior). Now I need to get my Birth Certificate Ordered to confirm the engine...

Did anyone not get their certificate with the switch-over. Mine was ordered for my Ghia on 2/2018 and it never arrived.
Could have been lost in the mail, but I think it may have been lost in the transition. |

Well, I went ahead and thought I would try to get a "Birth Certificate" again.
https://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.com/en_global/service/certificate-data-sheets.html
Success!
Went ahead and tried Paypal, it was seamless.
Got the bundle.
I had ordered a certificate probably 15 years ago for the coupe. I don't think they offered a bundle then. Not a huge deal since the coupe is very unoriginal. It will be a nice addition for the cabriolet.
