Blank plates or plates showing something other than the serial number are exempt from this procedure.
Several scenarios are possible, we will approach them from the simplest to the most “complex”.
- You have the registration document, perfect, you just need to provide us with a copy of both sides of it as well as the owner's identity card.
- You have the crossed out registration document, you must send us the front and back of it along with the transfer certificate and the owner's identity card.
- You do not have the registration document but the vehicle is insured. If the insurance certificate shows the serial number, simply send us this certificate as well as the owner's identity card.
- You do not have the registration document and your vehicle is not insured. In this case, you will need to complete a sworn statement (which we provide) and attach a photo of your identity document next to the serial number stamped on the chassis.

Compliance with Technical Inspection (CT) and FFVE files
We work regularly with garages to allow the passage of technical inspection (CT) many vehicles. In addition, the French Federation of Vintage Vehicles (FFVE) also recommends us for reproduction of old plates too damaged.
Our plates are therefore compliant meets the requirements of Technical Inspection (CT) and the French Federation of Vintage Vehicles (FFVE).

How do I attach my manufacturer plate?
The manufacturer’s plate must must be fixed on your vehicle.
To make this task easier, we offer different fixing options when purchasing a plate. If you have access to both sides of the spar, you can choose copper rivets. Otherwise, opt for a set of POP rivets or solid rivets (SIM). A pack will always contain the number of rivets needed for your plate, and bags are also available for larger quantity requirements.

Appearance and finishes
Are the plates raised?
Our aluminum plates are completely smooth. Only plates with engraved numbers have material removal on the front side.
As for our brass plates, they are made with relief on the front side, while retaining the smooth appearance on the back.

Are the numbers punched?
We carry out surface or through engravings by machining.
This approach allows us to reproduce a multitude of period shapes and fonts. Additionally, we offer the option of printing texts and numbers instead of engraving them to meet different needs and preferences.

Durability and resistance of the plates over time
All our plates are anodized to provide long-lasting resistance to corrosion, salt spray, UV rays and chemicals.
