<\/p>\n\n
In France, the procedures for obtaining or modifying a vehicle registration certificate (officially called a certificat d’immatriculation) are now entirely paperless. It is no longer possible to do this at the prefecture or sub-prefecture. <\/p>\n\n
The main procedure is carried out online via the Agence Nationale des Titres S\u00e9curis\u00e9s (ANTS) or through authorized professionals.<\/p>\n\n
The official portal for all registration procedures is the ANTS website.<\/p>\n\n

- Payment: The amount of taxes (calculated according to fiscal power, vehicle age, fuel type, and region) must be paid by credit card.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

\n- Once your application has been approved, you will receive a Provisional Registration Certificate (CPI) by email, which allows you to drive for one month while you wait for the final document.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The final vehicle registration certificate will then be sent to you by registered mail to your home address (the address shown on the proof of address provided).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
