Air quality certificate

[edythuk]

My husband got an email telling him to renew his crit'air certificate. He never had one because the car is registered to me, him being unable to drive. Do I need one? We live in Aude and never drive in cities.

That sounds like a scam e-mail. Did you check the sender? They don't need to be renewed.

Yes, it is a scam. One of the many on the internet. Valid till the end of the car's life and as long as it is readable: Une fois acquis, le certificat est valable aussi longtemps qu’il reste lisible.

One exception: new windscreen? Almost impossible to remove, buy a new one for less than 4 euros from the official government website.

Yep - one of the many scams going around, along with parking ticket violations, cheque d'energie via caf, update payment details for amazon/paypal, Carrefour bank security details (I don't have a bank account with them or bank postal who also want me to update my security details ............. the list goes on.

Yep, I think I've received almost all of the ones Char mentioned.

Very frustrating and annoying.
