Late for the technical visit? Your vehicle will no longer be deregistered
However, he will no longer be able to drive on public roads.
These technical inspections, carried out by Inspectors from the Vehicle Technical Inspection Center, plan to periodically check the good working order and maintenance of the vehicles.
Since January 4, 2023, a delay in presenting the vehicle for these inspections no longer results in the cancellation of the latter. More precisely, the removal from the register of registrations “prohibits” the vehicle from circulating on the public highway and the owner must then return the certificate and the registration plates.
Four months and one month before the due date of the technical inspection, the user may be contacted by the Service des Titres de circulation to remind him to present his vehicle. In the event of a delay, his vehicle will no longer be deregistered, but he will no longer be authorized to travel on public roads. The difference is on the administrative side.
” This cancellation forced the owner to take long and costly steps to regularize the situation of the vehicle. explains Aurélie Péri, Head of the Traffic Licensing Service. From now on, the owner will have to regularize the situation of the vehicle by requesting an appointment for a technical inspection and by paying various costs. He will have to wait for the technical visit to be able to circulate freely again.
The Service des Titres de Circulation has also set up a teleservice to take make an appointment online for the technical inspection.
