Information on the immatriculation - a vehicle's registration paperwork with details on how to go about buying or selling a Monegasque registered vehicle in the Principality...
The immatriculation is a vehicle's registration. A vehicle's registration details are on the Certificat d'Immatriculation (registration certificate).
When a Monaco-registered car is bought or sold, the new ownership must be registered within one month of the transfer and a new Certificat d'Immatriculation will be issued to the new owner. Paperwork is handled by the Service des Titres de Circulation.
