What is a provisional certificate of registration?

Provisional Certificate of Registration (CPI WW) is issued to allow the circulation of certain vehicles in France and abroad. The validity of a French CPI WW remains subject to the agreement of the State in which you will circulate.

The WW CPI shall be issued in the following cases:

• New or used vehicles awaiting documents (conformity, technical inspection, tax proof).
• Vehicles for export.
• New vehicles sold complete or incomplete for body.

Period of validity:

• Standard: 2 months.
• Incomplete new vehicle for bodywork or self-propelled agricultural machine: 3 months.

It can be extended only once automatically for the same period if the final certificate has not yet been issued.
