Digital vehicle registration: the end of paper and manual entry is approaching

The official announcement: what will change in 2025

A transformation led by ANTS

The French government, through the National Agency for Secure Titles (ANTS), recently announced a historic shift in the management of car titles: the digital vehicle registration will become the norm as early as 2025. This change is part of a larger strategy to dematerialize public services.

Objective to zero paper for administrative documents

The initiative aims to end the production of physical documents, which are considered expensive, slow to process, and easily falsifiable. In 2024, more than 85% of car registration requests were already made online. The ambition is now clear: 100% digital.

The reasons behind this digital transition

The decision is based on several key arguments:

• Fraud reduction thanks to forgery-proof digital documents;
• Saving time for users who will no longer need to receive mail;
• Less paperwork for administrations, with secure online storage.

Digital car registration document: definition and operation

What is a digital vehicle registration document?

It is a fully dematerialized registration certificate, accessible as a file or via a secure application. It keeps exactly the same data as the paper version.

Access and storage on smartphone or personal space

Each user will be able to find their digital vehicle registration document:

• upon The Secure Digital Space from ANTS;
• In a official mobile app coming soon;
• via a secure link sent by email after validation.

Benefits for users and administration

The benefits are numerous:

• No more car registration losses or thefts;
• Quick access for road checks;
• Automatic archiving in the secure state cloud.

The impacts on automotive professionals

Concessions, garages and renters: end of impressions

The end of paper is forcing professionals to adapt the way they work. Prints will no longer be necessary, but you will need to be able to consult, transmit and archive car registration cards in digital format.

Reduction in human errors and delays

With manual entry that is often a source of errors (fields incorrectly filled in, duplicates, etc.), digitization promises better data reliability and faster treatments.

New tools to adopt to remain compliant

Professionals will need to equip themselves with solutions capable of:

• read digital files receipts;
• automatically extract data ;
• integrate this data in their business software (DMS, CRM...).

The digitization of automotive documents: a global trend

Invoices, certificates, technical inspection certificates

In addition to the car registration document, other documents follow the same path:

• maintenance bills ;
• certificates of conformity ;
• technical inspection reports.

All of these are getting easier to centralize and analyze once digitized.

Why centralize and automate this data?

The advantages are multiple:

• Complete monitoring of the life of the vehicle ;
• Preparation for resale made easy ;
• Fewer risks of error or data loss.

Compliance, traceability and productivity challenges

Regulatory obligations are multiplying: archiving, accessibility, RGPD. Digitalization is becoming a compliance lever, but also an accelerator of internal productivity.
