Registration of foreign car

Do you have or do you want to buy a vehicle abroad?

When your vehicle arrives in France, you have ONE month to register your vehicle: this period may be too short to collect all the documents, plus the processing time of the file by the State investigating service. The treatment time with the latter can vary from 4 to 6 weeks. The best thing is to obtain (from us, if you wish) a temporary WW for a period of 4 months non-renewable (this provisional WW will cost you 41 euros including service).

Here are the steps to register your vehicle in France

1-Otain the tax clearance or depending on the case, the 846 A customs clearance certificate:

The tax quitus : document provided by the tax center on which the buyer of the vehicle depends, certifying that the VAT has been paid somewhere in Europe. It is provided only for vehicles purchased in a country of the European Union: you can ask your tax office or ask us to do it for you – do not hesitate to contact us by phone, by email on this subject. .

846 A: this document is provided by the Customs service after payment of VAT and customs fees. It concerns vehicles acquired in a country which does not belong to the European Union.

2-Obtain the COC (European certificate of conformity)

In most cases, it is essential for registering your vehicle in France. Le prix varie en fonction de chaque constructeur.
Chaque constructeur possède un service homologation auprès duquel vous pouvez vous renseigner. We can also take care of this process for you.

In the event that the vehicle was not built for the European market, and therefore cannot obtain a Certificate of Conformity, it will be possible to obtain an Isolated Title Acceptance Report: the file is submitted to the DREAL closest to you, who will call you to check the vehicle. If your vehicle is over 30 years old, we can obtain an FFVE certificate, which will avoid creating the DREAL file.

3-After having gathered all the necessary documents, we can start the process

Send your entire file by mail and if you wish by email, or via your CUSTOMER AREA.
If you are missing a document, we will contact you by return. You have a telephone number to contact us at any time for the follow-up of your file.
