oliveau Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I re-registered a Spanish car a couple of years ago [A Ssangyong Musso]. Although the Spanish registration document clearly showed the 'e number' [ie the certificate of conformity], the Prefecture wouldn't accept it and insisted on a full CoC. I went to DRIRE who completed a dossier which was then forwarded to the Prefecture. This was cheaper than getting a CoC from the manufacturer.Of course, the Prefectures are supposed to accept that the 'e number' on the registration document IS the CoC, but YOU try telling them that!

But unless your car was made outside the EU andyou only had the original (non-French) CoC, your experience doesn't necessarily help with the OP's question.My point was simply that there is some doubt about which version of the CoC will be required, and a phone call could save an unnecessary journey.
