FWIW, Stuttcars offers what appears to be the same service, which I used last year to get the same document for my 996.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

If you want the details of your 996’s build such as the build date, engine & transmission numbers, build codes beyond simple option codes, factory invoice date, etc. Suncoast sells it for just $10 plus tax. The data is from the Porsche Central Service System.
Build decodes in German so use one of the decode lists to decode.
Turnaround is a few days.
Awesome service IMHO. Who needs a CoA?
This is FACTORY data, NOT repackaged SUMMARY data. Far GREATER DETAIL than Vinanalytics and a CoA.
As stated, shows both engine and trans numbers, every option and all equipment in the build including non-options, factory invoice date, etc.
Some 996 owners want to know if their engines are original. CoAs have become very expensive.
It’s $10.
What data do you want?
I did this a few weeks ago with one of my '99 Boxsters. I had the email back the next day showing all the data SKM lists in his second post above.
Well worth $10 to me.
I did this years ago with Suncoast. $10 well spent. The sticker under the frunk lid is essentially unreadable due to water damage and this document provided all that information plus more.
Are you referring to the Window Sticker PDF they offer? That's a different/separate offering from the build data referenced above. Porsche NA includes Canada, surprised it is not available. I know Porsche Mexico is a separate entity selling metric Porsches.
Thanks OP for the heads up, I got mine the next day. This is so much better (and waaay cheaper) than the somewhat lame COA I bought for my old '70 911T.
FWIW, Stuttcars offers what appears to be the same service, which I used last year to get the same document for my 996. It's also a great site for options research.
I ordered one for my car and found a couple of things I wasn't sure about. I thought my car had a blue interior but the build shows a black interior. The interior trim codes are AY and KL. I'm wondering if the black interior fades to a blue tint because parts of it look dark blue to me, especially the carpet. I know my car baked outside in the hot South Carolina sun for most of its 20 years before I bought it. It also came back as a 1998 on the model year, the invoice date shows as 1/28/1998.
The interesting part of the building sheet, is that you get to know all the options installed in your car, included the factory installed, and that is important because those will vary between countries and models.
For instance, sunroof or cruise control, never show in the "option list" (sticker or COA), because they were factory option in U, but they do in the European market as they were optional there.
The same between models. A C4S won't show in the "option list" the memory seats, or the full leather (because it was standard for the model)
The build sheet is the only way to know exactly what your car has installed and It is good for when comparing apples to apples with models coming or going to other markets.
Got mine results today.
Now the $64,000 or rather $20,000 question, does anyone have a list by engine serial number of the car with a dual/single row IMS?
Did mine years ago through Suncoast, worked great. Then I sent that info to a guy in Spain also on the forums that prints identical frunk stickers. Got a new one on my car. check it out here.

Got mine. It's very interesting.
I have two "Z" orders, that are usually custom options. (09971, 09991) It just says "Siehe Anlage" (see appendix).
Hmm, any ideas how to figure those out?
Edit / Update:

09991 Deviated Stitching.
But I absolutely do not have deviated stitching in my car. It's black on black.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
