Change of marital status

The registration certificate must be updated to reflect your new civil status, with a supporting document such as the marriage certificate or the divorce judgment. After a divorce, if you were already a joint holder on the carte grise and the judgment awards you the vehicle, the update costs only a small fixed fee rather than the full registration tax. If you were not a joint holder, the change is treated as a normal ownership transfer. We can review your situation and handle the correct procedure for you.

If you want to add your spouse as a co-owner, or align the name / civil status shown on the certificate, an update is required. Marriage alone does not always force an immediate change if the holder and address remain accurate, but any useful mismatch (co-ownership, name) should be corrected to avoid problems when selling or with the insurer.

Check the judgment or agreement for who is awarded the vehicle. If you were a co-owner and become the sole holder, prepare the judgment, your ID, proof of address and the current carte grise. If the vehicle goes to an ex-spouse who was not on the title, treat it as a change of ownership with the usual transfer documents.

Depending on the case: marriage certificate, divorce judgment or approved agreement, ID, proof of address less than 6 months old, the current carte grise, and any co-owner documents. A mandate is required if an accredited professional handles the file.

A simple civil-status update or co-owner change after a divorce with award often attracts a limited administrative fee, unlike a full ownership transfer priced on regional fiscal horsepower. Each case is assessed under the tax rules in force when you apply.
