France Vehicle Registration Certificate Application (Cerfa 13750*07, Certificat d'immatriculation)

This file is the source-review record for this document version, per the manual-source-review-v1 practice. It documents the provenance of the published fields and flow and states the current verification claim honestly.

Current claim

• status: draft
• verification.method: manual-source-review-v1
• verification.lastVerifiedAt: 2026-07-03

The document was derived directly from the official Cerfa form's own printed text and cross-checked against its publisher's guidance page, but the online submission channel that now actually processes these requests (immatriculation.ants.gouv.fr) sits behind an authenticated session this review could not reach — so the practice's field-by-field comparison against a live screen set (Procedure step 2) has not been completed. It therefore remains draft, not verified.

Sources examined

• Document (id, version): fr/ants/vehicle-registration-certificate / 1.0.0
• Spec version: GovSchema 0.3.0
• Authority: Agence Nationale des Titres Sécurisés (ANTS), the operator of France's national vehicle-registration system (Système d'Immatriculation des Véhicules, SIV), under the Ministère de l'Intérieur; the underlying Cerfa form is published via service-public.fr / Direction de l'information légale et administrative (DILA).
• Primary form source: Cerfa **13750\*07**, "Demande de certificat d'immatriculation d'un véhicule" (Articles R. 322-1 et suivants du code de la route). Retrieved as a PDF (2026-07-03) and cross-matched by form number and edition against three independent mirrors of the same DILA-published file (eplaque.fr, cartegrise.com, the préfecture de l'Hérault's own download link) — all three serve byte-identical form content for edition 13750*07.
• Guidance page: https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/R13567 — "Demande de certificat d'immatriculation d'un véhicule", fetched live (curl, raw HTML, HTTP 200, no block), 2026-07-03. Confirms: the Cerfa number/edition (13750*07), that the service is free (Coût: Service gratuit), the 5-step process ("Remplir le formulaire en ligne / Télécharger / Imprimer / Signer / Conserver 1 exemplaire signé", with a note that the blank form may instead be filled by hand), and the required supporting documents ("Selon la démarche effectuée, préparer notamment : Certificat d'immatriculation [the existing certificate] ; Justificatif d'identité ou extrait KBis [proof of identity, or a KBis extract if the applicant is a personne morale]"). Last verified by the publisher per the page footer: "Vérifié le 19 juin 2026".
• PDF extraction method: the Cerfa PDF carries an /AcroForm shell but zero Widget annotations — a static print-and-sign form, the same shape as AU's NAT 2541 and DE's ESt 1 A (a third confirmed instance of this no-fillable-fields pattern in this registry). Text was extracted with pdfjs-dist's getTextContent(), position-sorted (y descending, then x ascending) to reconstruct the printed reading order, since there is no AcroForm field name to anchor to. Every field's sourceRef quotes the form's own printed label text directly.
• Live online channel identified but not reached: immatriculation.ants.gouv.fr (ANTS's SIV portal) and its private-professional-partner equivalents are the channel that actually processes the vast majority of these requests today (prefecture counters for vehicle registration closed nationally in November 2017). Both require an authenticated FranceConnect session (for an individual) or a professional account (for a registered intermediary such as a dealer or agent); neither was reachable from this environment, so the schema is sourced from the Cerfa form and its guidance page, not from the live portal's own screens.

What was directly observed vs. inferred

| Field / group | Basis | |---|---| | procedureType (6 checkbox options) | Directly quoted from the form's own "Veuillez cocher la case correspondante" instruction. | | Vehicle description fields (make, commercialDenomination, typeVariantVersion, vehicleIdentificationNumber, nationalVehicleCategory) | Directly quoted, including the EU-harmonised registration-document codes printed alongside each (D.1, D.2, D.3, E, J.1). | | dominantColor (10 named colours) | Directly read from the printed 3-column checkbox grid under "COULEUR DOMINANTE" — position-sorted text confirms the grid is Noir/Jaune/Gris, Marron/Vert/Blanc, Rouge/Bleu, Orange/Beige (3 columns × up to 4 rows). | | colorShade (Clair/Foncé) | Directly observed but not confirmed at box level. "Clair" and "Foncé" print in a column of their own, offset from the 10 named-colour checkboxes rather than repeated once per colour. Whether this is one shade modifier applied to whichever colour is checked, or an independent field, is not stated anywhere on the form; modelled as an independent optional enum, the conservative reading. | | rentalArrangement, LOUEUR/LOCATAIRE gating | Directly quoted: the rental checkbox line ("en location longue durée / en location courte durée / en crédit-bail") and the two section headers' own parenthetical scope notes ("(en cas de location ou crédit-bail)" for LOUEUR; "(en cas de location longue durée ou crédit-bail)" for LOCATAIRE) state precisely which rental type requires which block. | | TITULAIRE / CO-TITULAIRE / LOUEUR / LOCATAIRE identity and address sub-fields | Directly quoted from each section's printed field labels. The four sections repeat the same "Personne physique ou entreprise individuelle / Personne morale", "NOM DE NAISSANCE et PRÉNOM ou RAISON SOCIALE", "NOM D'USAGE (facultatif)" structure; CO-TITULAIRE is confirmed narrower than the other three (no separate address/date-of-birth block is printed for it — the printed form only carries a name/SIRET block, immediately followed by the LOUEUR heading). | | hasCoHolder / multiOwnerCount | Directly quoted ("Dans le cas de multi-propriété, veuillez indiquer le nombre de personnes titulaires du certificat d'immatriculation"). The form provides space for exactly one CO-TITULAIRE; a multi-propriété case with 3+ joint holders is out of scope here (see Scope below). | | optOutOfCommercialDataReuse | Directly quoted ("Je m'oppose à la réutilisation de mes données personnelles à des fins de prospection commerciale\*\*: Oui / Non"). | | titleDeliveryMethod | Directly quoted ("Mode d'expédition du titre: Voie postale / Retrait à l'Imprimerie Nationale"). | | identityProof / kbisExtract / priorRegistrationCertificate documents | Directly quoted from service-public.fr's own "Documents à préparer" list, not from the Cerfa form itself (the form's printed page does not itemise supporting documents). | | signature document | The form's own signature block ("Fait à: ... Le: ...", "Signature:", "(Pour les sociétés: nom, qualité du signataire et cachet)") is directly observed, but no exact attestation sentence is printed next to it (unlike, e.g., DS-82's "I certify under penalties of perjury..."). No statement member is set on this entry — the same honesty discipline used for de/finanzamt/income-tax-return-elster, which omitted a documents[] attestation entirely for the same reason; here the signature requirement itself is still directly sourced, so the entry is kept but left without invented wording. |

Scope and jurisdiction notes

• Whole of France (jurisdiction.country: FR, level: national) — vehicle registration is a national competence exercised through ANTS/SIV, not a regional one.
• Models the Cerfa 13750 form's own field set, which underlies first registration, duplicates, corrections, and the address/civil-status/ technical-characteristics amendment flows alike (procedureType). It does not model the online SIV portal's own screen-by-screen flow (out of reach, see above), nor the distinct paper notice 51291#03 referenced on the guidance page as the accompanying "mode d'emploi" (not independently opened this cycle).
• Multi-propriété beyond one co-holder is out of scope. The printed form has room for exactly one CO-TITULAIRE; the guidance for 3+ joint holders (a supplementary annex) was not sourced and is not modelled.
• CADRE RÉSERVÉ À L'ADMINISTRATION is out of scope. The form's own administration-only block (acceptance/rejection, reasons for rejection) is filled in by the registration authority after submission, not by the applicant, and is not modelled as a field.
• No hard length/format constraint asserted on vehicleIdentificationNumber. A 17-character VIN is the general international convention, but the form itself does not state a length, so none is enforced here — consistent with not inventing constraints the source doesn't publish.
• This is GovSchema's **first France (fr/*) schema and the ninth jurisdiction in the DMV vertical** (after GB, DE, CA, AU, NZ, SG, US, and US-state entries), advancing the standard's multi-jurisdictional coverage per the GovSchema Standard Research routine's mandate to look beyond already-closed candidates once a focus vertical's tracked backlog is exhausted.

"Test run" (non-submitting)

Per GovSchema's own boundary (GOVERNANCE.md: GovSchema describes and verifies government processes; it does not submit them), no live submission was attempted — there is no public sandbox for the SIV system, and probing it with invented identifiers would mean testing a live government record-matching system, which prior review cycles in this registry have consistently treated as out of scope. Instead, a full mock conformance packet was built at conformance/fr/ants/vehicle-registration-certificate/1.0.0/application-packet.json modelling a private individual's first-time registration (no rental, single holder, postal delivery): 28 fields collected, 56 correctly excluded as not-applicable to that scenario (28 + 56 = 84, the schema's full field count — exact coverage), checked programmatically against the schema's own required/requiredWhen/visibleWhen rules (0 errors) using a small Condition interpreter covering every operator in §8.1 (equals, notEquals, in, all).

Path to a verified claim (next step)

To advance to status: verified, a reviewer applies manual-source-review-v1 (Procedure step 2) field-by-field against ANTS's immatriculation.ants.gouv.fr live screens — the blocker this cycle could not clear — using an authorised FranceConnect session or a professional-partner test account if ANTS ever publishes one, confirms or corrects the colorShade and CO-TITULAIRE-scope assumptions above, and records the outcome here with an updated verification.lastVerifiedAt.

Re-verification

Per the practice's Cadence, nextReviewBy is set to 2027-01-01 (6 months). Re-check the source on or before that date and on any source.url or Cerfa edition change (the form is currently edition 13750*07).
