Simon Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I want to register my car here, but the ANTS service is only available to those with a valid FranceConnect ID for which I will need to have submitted my first French tax return and that will not happen for a few months.There used to be a facility in the Prefecture, but I am told that is no longer available. Am I able to get someone else to to the registration or use a local garage? Otherwise I am stuck with a vehicle that has an expired MOT and I am reluctant to make a 1000 mile round trip to the UK for the sake of a 6 month wait.Does anyone have a clue how I can move forward?RegardsSimon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinBretagne Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Get someone to log on for you and select the option that they are registering a car for someone else or find a parts supplier or garage who will do the paperwork for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Go to your prefecture with all the paperwork and tell them your internet is broken/have't got/can't use/ it's too slow etc (just pick one) and they will do the registration for you.They have to mantain a service for the "sans internet"( Is that going to be a bit like the sans cullottes"?)

nomoss Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 [quote user="Harnser"] ..........They have to mantain a service for the "sans internet"....[/quote]That's right - computers are provided for their use in the Prefecture.Edit: If you Google "immatriculation voiture occasion" you will find many companies who carry out the usual registration process for a reasonable fee. Maybe you can find one who will do the slightly more complicated job for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Battling on with this, CT booked for this week, and I collected the Quitus Fiscal without any problems. I have the CoC from Honda, provided free incidently, so I will be braving the Prefecture shortly. I have another newer vehicle that I will swing across at the same time, this throws up another issue as the CoC from Volvo is £94! I remember reading somewhere that if the V5C document has the K - Type Approval field completed then a CoC is unnecessary, is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harnser Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 "if the V5C document has the K - Type Approval field completed then a CoC is unnecessary, is this true?"It certainly worked for us registering a UK sourced Honda 3 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 Making some progress, I found a local garage willing to process the ANTS application for a smallish fee.Anyone know what the ANTS wait time is currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinBretagne Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 My Honda GB CoC was free anyway. When I applied for it it highlighted an error on the VIN as shown on the V5 so having the CoC saved me lots of hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sueyh Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 We managed eventually to complete all the info on the Ants site. Does anyone know the timeframe for hearing back. At the moment it says it’s being looked at. Also does anyone know how much a Saab 93 will cost to immatriculate.TIASuey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinBretagne Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 The cost will depend on the Fiscal rating and age of the car. There will be a difference for example between a diesel engined version and a petrol engined turbo. There will be a calculator on your Prefecture website that will give you a good idea.
