sharkhunter Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Hi all, i have downloaded the drire form to register my UK van in France but it only mentions cars in their other forms, estate,hatch etc. Question is, is it the same form or is there another form i have to use, thanks in advance of any and all replies, hugh.

Sunday Driver Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 The DRIRE only hold type approval records for cars. Commercial vehicles are not subject to EU Whole Vehicle Type Approval therefore they don't come with an EU certificate of confomity, so you will need to obtain an attestation d'identité for your van from the French manufacturer/importer.

Should i write to Citroen UK, they must have been original importers to UK, Hugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Driver Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 You can obtain an attestation d'identité from the French manufacturer. They will need a copy of your V5C to correctly identify your vehicle and they will charge you around 120€.CITROEN (attestation identification) Immeuble Colise 12, rue Fructidor 75835 PARIS Cedex 17 Tel: 01.58.79.79.79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Avery Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I don't know why my answer puzzles you Hugh, you entitled the thread car or camion. I was pointing out that it was neither, so you might not be looking in the right place for the type approval, but it looks like it does not matter as SD has said you need type approval for a van anyway, good luck with deciphering what is required on the little plate.
