Proces French fines

Have you received a fine from France? Do not pay this immediately! The handling and processing of a French ticket is different from what you are used to in the Netherlands. So we have wrote down the proces for you.

Visit the website of the National agency for automated offence processing; www.antai.fr. You can display this page in English, to do this click on the English flag at the top right.

  • Step 1:  Choose the option; Designating and appealing
  • Step 2: Next, click the designate or appeal online button

You will then be taken to a new web page, where you will find the form below:

  • Step 3: enter the notice number, which you can find in the attachment of the fine.
  • Step 4: enter the name of the legal representative, written in capital letters (copy this literally from the fine).
  • Step 5: use the date of the notice. (Not the date of the letter).
  • Step 6: enter the license plate of the lease car.

After you have completed the previous steps, you can log in on the webpage.
