Anyone done this and does it cost as much as when we originally bought the car (quite a bit for a Laguna)? Thanks    Report

No idea of costs, but bear in mind which day you go for your carte grise: Les coordonnées de la Sous-Préfecture de Saintes Adresse : Place du Synode - BP 325 - 17108 SAINTES Cédex Téléphone : 05.46.92.37.00 Télécopie :05.46.93.22.32 Secrétariat particulier : 05.46.92.37.02 Accueil du public du lundi au vendredi, de 09h00 à 11h30 et de 13h00 à 16h00, sauf l’après-midi du dernier jour ouvré du mois pour le service des cartes grises.

But have I translated the above correct and took it to mean that we can only change our carte gris on the last business day of the month?    Report

Surely this says that the public are welcome at the above opening times, but if you want to use the service des cartes grises, you can't do this on the afternoon of the last working day of the month.

We recently moved from 16 to 31, completing the form at the sous prefecture in St Gaudens and receiving the new cartes grises for two vehicles took five minutes. I bought the new number plates at Feu Verte, they where 12.50 euros each with a 10 euro fitting charge for each vehicle, but they fitted the new plate to the trailer for nothing.    Report
