What are the benefits?

Among other things, the Simplimat application avoids the following situations:

• cases where the seller fails to declare the transfer of the vehicle on the website of the National Agency of Secure Titles (ANTS), thus blocking the buyer when he wishes to register the vehicle in his name. The fact that the seller and the buyer carry out the procedures at the same time, and in the physical presence of each other, also makes it possible to avoid errors in the entry of the information relating to the sale. Such misconduct may subsequently lead to administrative blockages, in particular when applying for registration of the vehicle;
• cases where the purchaser acquires a vehicle whose administrative situation is not in order. The Simplimat application allows a live consultation of the administrative situation of the vehicle to verify that it is compliant. Where the administrative situation of the vehicle is not in order, Simplimat shall block the transfer of the vehicle. This gives the buyer a guarantee that the vehicle is not stolen, for example.
