Carte grise lag continues
New online registration system causing delays
With up to 300,000 carte grise vehicle registration documents delayed by problems with the new ANTS obligatory online registration system, drivers are being advised to use private carte grise firms to lessen delays.
The garage federation CNPA said using private firms gives a quicker response. Firms offering such services can be found with an internet search. The government is also helping by allowing temporary WW number plates to be used for four months.
Meanwhile readers continue to report issues with the processing of requests to swap an expiring UK driving licence for a French one, which can now only be done by post.
The CERT centre at Nantes prefecture said to take care to send a copy only in the first instance. It will then send an attestation that can be shown to police and which is valid until the new licence is issued.
