Gyn_Paul Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 When I finish moving from 44 to 23 I will obviously have to replate the vehicles (2 cars and a van). Anyone know if this is a fixed fee per vehicle or is it CV-dependant? I'll have a 3 litre petrol, a 1.9 L diesel, and a 2.5 L diesel to do eventually. paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I would go into your prefecture and get this done. You will need your carte grise's and proof of residence in your new dept and perhaps proof of who you are. You'll probably have to queue but they do it immediately. It is free.Then you need to inform your insurance company and buy new plates and get them fitted. Incidentally there is a one month time limit for getting this done, so there is no eventually and there can be hefty fines if you don't. Also there are new rules concerning cars bought since June 2004. So check up about that with the prefecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 The charge is levied by CV,then model and age I believe and my daughter paid only 20€ less than when the vehicle was first registered but if you are not changing address and name it may vary.There is a time limit as TU says but our maire's secretary took 8 years to change her plates when she moved 2 miles back over the border.

Wasn't there some idea that vehicles would shortly be given a "number for life"? Or did I dream that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyn_Paul Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 Thank you everyone for the info... My apparent laid-back attitude to the time-scale is because we are in the fortunate position of buying the 23 house before we sell the 44 one (We need to be in the tax system as full residents a while yet for them to recognise it as our maison principal; therefore salable without CGT), so the 23 house is - for the moment - a maison secondaire.paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Gyn Paul, Well you are in no hurry then. When you eventually move officially then you can get this sorted out. As I said, if you are moving then this service is free, so there really is no excuse to not do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside being we lose our beloved departemental numbers.p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
