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.

Forgotten your username

Go to the Px-2037-VOC app icon Profile tab.
Select Manage account.

Forgotten your password

If you've forgotten your password and have access to the e-mail account or phone number you provided as your username when creating your Volvo ID, you can easily reset it.

Recovering your Volvo ID when you've lost access to your e-mail or phone

If you can’t access the e-mail account or phone number1 you provided as your username when creating your Volvo ID, you may be able to recover your Volvo ID account. For this to be possible, you need to meet the following requirements:

  • You must have previously added an additional contact detail to your account as explained in Adding contact details for Volvo ID account recovery.

  • 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.

 Note

If your Volvo ID username is an e-mail address, the code will be sent to the phone number you added as your additional contact detail. If your Volvo ID username is a phone number, you'll be able to add an e-mail.
