No confirmation message upon registration of a new account

If you didn't receive a confirmation message after registering your new account, check that the e-mail address you provided is correct. Additionally, check that the message hasn't been stopped by a spam filter. If everything looks good, try registering your account again.

Login failure after creating a new account

There may be delays in the process of creating your account. If so, your account will not be accessible immediately. Try to log in again after 24 hours. If the issue persists, contact Volvo support or your local Volvo dealer for further assistance.

Login failure after changing your username

Make sure you have received a confirmation message and activated your account. Once this has been done, you should be able to log in using your new username. If you didn't receive a confirmation message, your old username is probably still in use. Log in and change your username again.

Login failure after changing your password

Try to log in using your old password. If this doesn't work, change your password again.

  • You need to remember your current Volvo ID username.

If you don't meet the requirements, you need to create a new Volvo ID account. See Creating a Volvo ID for more information.

When recovering your account, a verification code will be sent to your addiitonal contact detail to verify your Volvo ID.
