No, no, no. Registration is now done online on the website of the National Agency for Securities (NSA). You can no longer go to the prefecture or sub-prefecture or send your file there.

You can ask a authorized motor vehicle professional by the ministry of the interior (garage, professional of the automotive trade, rental...) to carry out for you the following steps:

• Registration of a new vehicle (including moped)
• Registration of a used vehicle with French plates (including mopeds)
• Change of tenant (for renters)
• Declaration of purchase or transfer of a vehicle
• Application for a certificate of administrative status (non-pledge certificate)
• Declaration of purchase or disposal for destruction
• Declaration of destruction of a vehicle
