France:
Following the changes to the French Carte Grise application system, we have restricted our involvement in the process of providing ICOC documents to customers in France. In the first instance we would recommend you obtain a manufacturer's CoC, if that is an option for you. For new/unknown customers, from 21 June 2018 - we will not be issuing ICOC documents for use with Carte Grise applications.

Accepted by most European registering agencies, although the language of the document can cause rejection (make sure you get one in the native language where you are applying).

How to get a manufacturer's CoC for your vehicle:
You can buy this through us [click here for enquiry] but initially you will need to email us for a quotation. The cost will be the manufacturer's fee plus our handling and purchasing fee. Please note that also, usually, the manufacturer will require personal ID, proof of vehicle ownership, and sometimes some specific information about the vehicle (photos, etc), depending on the manufacturer's terms.


  Please buy an Independent Certificate of Conformity to gain facts about your vehicle, to assist with your filling of forms in the UK and abroad,  and to gain access to our WhatsApp support for your vehicle registration endeavours. it is also good for tolls, European travel, taxi licence information, emissions information, and other uses.
