Paso a paso

Check the registration certificate is in your name and up to date Requerido por ley
Only the registered owner can sell the vehicle, and every co-holder listed on the certificate (certificat d'immatriculation, 'carte grise') must sign. The certificate must show your current address at the time of sale. A car under a lease with purchase option (LOA) cannot be sold by you.

Get a roadworthiness test if the car is over 4 years old Requerido por ley
A passenger car over 4 years old needs a contrôle technique dated less than 6 months before the buyer applies for the new registration; you hand the report (procès-verbal) to the buyer. If a critical defect is found you must repair it and pass the re-inspection before selling to a private buyer; if you sell after a re-inspection was ordered, the sale must take place within 2 months of the initial test.

On the day of sale, fill in and sign cerfa n°15776 together with the buyer; keep copy no. 1 and give copy no. 2 to the buyer. Cross out the registration certificate and write legibly 'vendu le' with the date, time and your signature; write the buyer's name on the back of the detachable coupon and sign it without cutting it off (the coupon lets the buyer drive in France for one month).

Mantente seguro cuando los compradores se pongan en contacto contigo
- Do the sale declaration only on the official sites (ants.gouv.fr / immatriculation.ants.gouv.fr, linked from service-public.gouv.fr). Private look-alike sites charge fees for the same procedure.
- Hidden defects discovered after the sale can give the buyer grounds for a claim against you, even if they accepted an extra clause in the contract.
