Cerfa 15776 — Used vehicle transfer certificate

The form signed by seller and buyer when a used vehicle is sold or given away in France.

The form is downloaded and submitted on the authority's website.

What this form is for

Record the sale or gift of a vehicle: seller and buyer identity, vehicle details, date and time of transfer.

Documents to have ready

  • The registration certificate, crossed out and signed as instructed
  • Depending on the vehicle, a recent roadworthiness test report
  • An administrative status certificate, if requested

Where to send it

The seller declares the transfer online with the ANTS (France's secure documents agency) within the required time; each party keeps a copy.

Our tips

  • Check the CERFA version number (the digit after the asterisk): only the current version is accepted.
  • Keep a copy of the signed form and supporting documents.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to declare the sale myself?
Yes, the seller is responsible for declaring the transfer. Do it promptly: until it's recorded, traffic offences involving the vehicle may be sent to you.
