You have a vehicle registered in Ireland that you wish to export outside the European Union (EU) or to a French Overseas Territory (TOM).

You must obtain a  Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin. Please note that this document does not allow the vehicle to be registered at the prefecture.

You have a vehicle registered in Ireland that you wish to modify or which has been converted or fitted out at a body shop.

When contacting relevant authorities for single vehicle approval, you may be asked for written authorisation from Citroën for modifying the vehicle and a copy of the certificate of conformity or  the document  of the base vehicle (excluding modifications). Citroën reserves the right to decide whether or not to issue the modification authorisation. It is therefore advisable to submit your modification plans to Citroën before carrying them out. Please note, these documents do not allow the vehicle to be registered at the prefecture, but rather to obtain single vehicle approval.

You want to modify a car that is a derived CDV (Car Derived Van) registered in Ireland into a private vehicle.

A CDV is a vehicle derived from a private vehicle for commercial use. This means that it is a normal vehicle, like a C3, that has been modified. Often the rear seats have been removed so only the two front seats remain. 

An error has been noted on your vehicle's registration certificate (error noted by the prefecture, the person performing the NCT, the police, your dealer, or you).

You want a  certificate of conformity (COC) and/or a certificate  so you can get your vehicle registration certificate corrected at the prefecture.

An error has been found on the stamped serial number or the manufacturer's plate of your vehicle registered in Ireland.

Please contact owner services at a member of the Citroën network in order to identify the error.

You wish to register a vehicle in France that comes from another continent that does not have EU type approval or which has been modified abroad.

You wish to register an unregistered (new) vehicle in Ireland that comes from abroad and you do not have a certificate of conformity (COC).

You need a new vehicle import certificate.
