About

The mobile app Cebia Foto is used to capture the condition of a vehicle when closing an insurance policy. The photo documentation serves to protect your rights and the rights of the insurance company in the event of a possible insurance claim settlement.

The mobile app is available for free in the Czech and Slovak versions of Google Play (Android) and the App Store (iOS).

Until the vehicle condition is photographed, the insurance is not valid to its full extent, and in the event of an insurance claim, your deductible can be as high as 90%. Therefore, it's advisable to photograph the vehicle as soon as possible.

How to proceed

Scan the QR code

Take pictures of the vehicle according to the instructions

After installation, your contract information is automatically uploaded to the application and you can start taking photos. The application will guide you through the entire process, or you will also find video instructions on how to proceed when taking photos.

Please follow a few rules when taking photos:

  • Take pictures of the washed vehicle, during the day and in good weather.
  • All vehicle windows must be retracted (including the sunroof).
  • Take all the photos in the same place.
  • Take photos of all (even minor) vehicle damages!

Wait for approval

After sending the photos, do not delete the Cebia Foto mobile app and keep your notifications turned on. After the approval of the photos, the application will send you a notification about the successful completion of the tour, or you will be asked to retake unsatisfactory photos.

Only after all the photos have been approved will we send you the VINFOTO CERTIFICATE, which concludes the inspection and you can delete the application. Information about the successful completion of the inspection is automatically forwarded to your insurance company, so you no longer need to inform it in any way.

Issuance of the certificate

After the inspection is approved, we will issue the VINFOTO CERTIFICATE with an assessment of the vehicle's condition, which we will automatically send to you and the insurance company.

Yes. Photo documentation must be taken as soon as possible after taking out the insurance. If you do not take the photo documentation by the given deadline, your co-payment may be up to 90% in the eventual liquidation of the insurance claim. The insurance company can also cancel the policy completely.

Can I download a copy of the VINFOTO CERTIFICATE?

What if I don't have a technical license or registration plate yet?

Technical license or registration plate are not mandatory for the inspection. However, the insurance company itself can ask you for them later.
