The Certificate of Coverage (CoC) is a document that serves as proof that the social security legislation of the employer state is applicable during a period abroad. The concept is similar to the A1 certificate for EU/EEA countries, but in this case, the CoC can be issued for all countries around the world as long as there is a Social Security Treaty between countries.
