France in Focus

We have received a nice certificate of Attestation from F.F.V.E. finally, however, under the section of Immatriculation there is nothing written.

I'm baffled as to how we get an immatriculation number so we can get a new number plate.

A search on ANTS and F.F.V.E didn't give me the information I was looking for.

Can anyone help please? I believe getting the immatriculation is all done online also?

Have a look on the facebook group Registering a vehicle in France, might help.

That's normal. You now have to apply for a carte grise collection from ANTS (online), the FFVE certificate is instead of a certificate of conformity.

Thanks Amanda

The ANTS site is difficult to negotiate so be patient, don't think it's 'you being stoopid'.
There are free local help centres (in French), search for Maison de Services au Public or France Services to find one near you, or ask at your Mairie.

There are also plenty of agents who will do it for you at a reasonable price. Just search "immatriculation voiture"

Our local photography shop recently became an agent, business being slack I suppose.

I used one of those agents a few years ago. Very well worth the moderate charge for the service. And quick!
