Official Certificate of Your MINI's Name

Saw this information posted elsewhere and found it quite interesting. Apparently, MINI owners/lessees in the UK can e-mail their MINI’s name, model, and UK registration number (license plate #) to facebook@mini.co.uk. If the owner/lessee includes their name and address, MINI UK registers the MINI's name and sends the owner/lessee an official certificate. I don't know if MINI USA does this. Nor do I know if MINI UK does this for American MINI owners. I'm awaiting delivery of my '14 MCS Roadster, so I don't even have a license plate. TIFWIW.

Now that would be cool!

P. S. I know I'm resurrecting an ancient thread...

There are many in there... Would you happen to know the exact name of the group?

Spent some time at BMW Mini Facebook. Found no trail to certificate, although on one post Mini asked if a customer had named his/her Mini. Nothing more was written about that. So maybe it's just a facebook@mini.co.uk and not here in the US.

We could ask our local dealership to see if something like that is available here?

Yeah, I might ask Seattle MINI when I'm there next, although I'm not sure when that would be as most of my services have been completed very recently.

I might go with the certificate in your link or might see what I can come up with.

Thanks again! 😊

I was searching around and found this, looks a lot more official and matches all the MINI dealer booklets and such. 👍
