HOW TO ORDER YOUR MERCEDES-BENZ KEY REPLACEMENT
Our scrutiny is your peace of mind
Only you or someone you authorize can request a replacement key. This policy is in place to protect you and your vehicle from unauthorized access. So, whether it's you or a trusted representative, make sure you're the one initiating the request. To make the process as efficient as possible, Mercedes-Benz requires specific documentation when ordering and retrieving keys. This includes providing the owner's original title or registration, as well as presenting a matching valid driver's license, passport, or identity card. These documents help verify your identity and ownership of the vehicle, ensuring that the replacement key is issued to the rightful owner.
Once the necessary documentation is provided, the next step is to pick up your new key from a designated Mercedes-Benz Dealer. This step is mandatory for security reasons. When you go to collect your key, it's important to have your vehicle with you. Why? Because the dealer needs your car present to synchronize the new key with your vehicle's security system. This synchronization process is crucial for ensuring that the new key functions properly and is uniquely linked to your car.
By following these steps and providing the required documentation, you can rest assured that your vehicle remains protected and that your new key is seamlessly integrated with your car's security system. Mercedes-Benz is committed to providing exceptional service and ensuring the safety and satisfaction of its valued customers.
