🚗 Colin & Katy’s Big Move to France and How MyFrenchVA Helped Them
Colin and Katy moved to South West France just before the UK left the EU in December 2020 😮. Since 2021, registering a vehicle in France has become more complicated with extra paperwork 📄. To resolve the situation quickly, Colin turned to Martin Swanson of MyFrenchVA. Here’s Colin’s story:
🌟 MyFrenchVA Saves the Day: Solving Colin’s Car Registration Problems 🌟
Moving to France and handling all the documentation – Carte de Séjour, Carte Vitale, and new French driving licences – was quite a stressful 😓 and time-consuming experience. What’s more, they couldn’t legally register their car in France, which was a big concern.
They had the Sales Certificate, but hadn’t registered the vehicle due to other issues. The company providing the Certificate of Conformity made an error with one digit of the VIN number, which led to the registration being returned. Worried 😟, Colin and Katy knew they had to sort it out ASAP.
That’s when they chose MyFrenchVA’s services. They compared prices 💰 and found MyFrenchVA’s charges very reasonable. Plus, they provided excellent service. Once they got the corrected Sales Certificate with the right VIN number, Martin contacted the company handling the Certificate of Conformity, resolving the issue in just two days! ⏳
