Once the vehicle has arrived in France, you must apply for registration within 30 days. To do so, you must provide the following documents:<\/p>\n
European certificate of conformity
\nVehicle purchase invoice
\nCertificate of transfer (if applicable)

\nPower of attorney if the procedure is carried out by a third party<\/p>\n
If the vehicle is more than 4 years old, it must pass the French technical inspection within 6 months of its importation.<\/p>\n
Don’t forget to take out insurance for your vehicle once it is registered in France.<\/p>\n
To simplify all the steps related to the importation of a car from Germany, it is possible to call upon a car agent.
