Curtisden Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 This may explain why some are having problems. Seems to me those of us who were quick off the mark are having the problems? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4370042/Tourists-driving-France-face-117-fine.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it just me? :-D B-) Yes that happened to me, I was furious, firstly I had a right job getting a jpg file small enough for the French government's (dial up?) Connection. Then right at the end no bloody UK, or GB in the drop down. OH went through it all again and it was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtisden Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Well it has arrived today even though the web site is stating it can not validate my reg No. Bough a twin Tax disk holder (remember them?) to hold both the german and french disks.

JeffersonCampervan Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I received my pdf invoice via email March 2nd; still no sticker (post to NL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kirby Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Applied 2 Feb, and received an immediate e-mail acknowledgement. Money taken 7 Feb. Official invoice, with copy of certificate, received 2 March by e-mail. Certificate received by post 16 March. This is a new scheme in France, and there will have been an initial surge in applications. Some delay until that surge worked through was to be expected. I would assume that once the initial surge has subsided and the number of applicants drops to whatever normal may be, the responses will speed up. I suggest anyone proposing to traverse Grenoble checks on the requirements for that city, as they are expected to vary at short notice according to weather conditions. Local information will be required, as it presently seems residents and regular visitors are expected to consult conditions on the internet to keep abreast of circumstances. Personally, I can't see this surviving for long in its present form: far too complicated! I haven't checked the requirement for Paris or Lyon, but it would be wise to do so if intending to cross either, or take the A86 (peripherique) around Paris, or the A6 through Lyon.

Any way round this. Make one up, I did, and they changed it to what I think is the correct one. My disc arrived in a week, they must be improving.

keithanderson Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I applied for my certificate in early Feb and received my email on 2nd March then nothing. I emailed them and eventually I received a reply saying that my certificate had been dispatched on 10th March. I assumed that it had got lost in the post and asked if they'd send another certificate. I got a reply yesterday saying that the certificate hadn't been returned to them and I could either reapply or wait for the certificate to arrive. I reapplied. Much to my amazement the certificate arrived today almost a month after it had allegedly been dispatched. It was in an envelope that had no postage or franking on it at all.

haddock2685 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Much excitement here. Ours arrived yesterday after a looong time Follow le instruction, with the aid of my very poor French. Eh voila! All fitted. Hope we don't have to have a new windscreen fitted, as ...it don't come out.. We know , as we lost our Umwelt sticker after a large brick came through our windscreen on the glorious M 25! All has to be replaced. Unfortunately but not very expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnfromnorfolk Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Just saying boys and girls. Now in Northern Spain after travelling through France for a week and did not see another yellow sticker on a car motorhome or even a large push bike!!! I think yellow stickers identify users of this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Kirby Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Brian Kirby - 2017-03-16 6:18 PM Got mine this morning. It is designed to shred if removed, same as the German umlautplackette. Having had two replacement windscreens to date on our present van (so now needing my third German "sticker"), I'd quite like to stick these to something that can be removed from the screen (yes, I know they are carefully designed to prevent removal and possible transfer between vehicles, but I'm only visiting, and getting a replacement is an unwelcome faff!). One used to be able to get a simple, transparent, circular, clear plastic tax disc holder that merely relied on the adhesion of the plastic to the screen, and so was peelable. Had a prowl around Halfords this PM and (inevitably, in the absence of tax discs), couldn't find anything of the kind. Anyone got any ideas? Doesn't want to be something that relies on glue, as it will probably not peel. Then, stick the low emissions sticker/s to the peelable plastic, allowing it/them to be transferred onto a new screen if/when necessary. Apologies for talking to myself in public, but from some of the posts above this may be useful. I think I have found a workaround to the replacement windscreen problem. I bought, off a web supplier (there were several selling similar), a piece of transparent PVC, sold as a camping tablecloth. The cost was about half that of the Crit'Air sticker. This is a similar material to than used for tax disc holders (the ones described above, that were merely a disc of clear PVC that you planted your tax disc centrally within, and then pressed onto the windscreen) though somewhat thicker. The natural tackiness of the PVC was sufficient to hold it in place, and the same is true of the tablecloth materiel. I stuck the Crit'Air sticker onto the PVC, then cut carefully round it so that no PVC extended beyond the sticker, and then pressed the PVC onto the windscreen with a soft cloth so that all air bubbles were removed. This was done about a week after the sticker arrived, and it is still there nearly four weeks later, shows no sign of coming away, and is perfectly legible from outside. I also have enough of the PVC left to cope with about 50 more stickers! Time will tell if the sticker glue causes the PVC to shrink or become brittle but, failing that, I think it will be possible to simply peel off the sticker with the PVC, clean up the PVC, and transfer both to the new windscreen if/when the time comes. Replacement Umweltplackette next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
