For those of you who have done this can you help please as I've failed at almost the first hurdle:
Trying to apply on the French Gov't web page and after the Country of Registration and Reg number it asks for vehicle category. Well my V5 doesn't have "category" but Type is ATF Variant 1MWA (not an option in French drop down), in the French web page notes it says Category is line "J" on V5 - very helpfully mine is blank !

My original Fiat certificate of conformity says category N2 (Truck), but the Autotrail certificate of conformity says category M1 (which is Passenger Car in French drop down). 
Our MH is a 2014 Autotrail Tracker on a Ducato 2.3 diesel, taxed as PHGV (4Tonne MGW). Its Euro 5 but again V5 is blank on that line!
Do I go with the the most recent document which is obviously the Autotrail certificate as M1? (but a MH is clearly not a  "Passenger Car")


Confused
thanks

Now you've ordered your windscreen sticker, download the mobile 'app'. It shows all zones with the current access restrictions in real time. Search your app library (Play Store or App Store) for Green Zones, you should find it in English - and you can set it to send email news updates, even in English! I wouldn't worry too much for 2023, there is massive cross-border opposition to the scheme and most towns and cities keep putting it off - Germany is contemplating scrapping it altogether.

I've just downloaded this app. I already have a Crit Air yellow 2 sticker and when using the app it tells me I am not valid in any of the zones in the uk...yet the TFL site shows me as valid for the LEZ and all other uk zones. I have a red blob showing on CO2 but don't know how to change this as I'm obviously valid.

Anyone having problems with the France crit air application site. I have completed 1st page added photo jpeg of V5C compressed down to less than 400kb but then I get a load of writing around that area in red saying I need to down load copy of document in specific formats eg jpg less than 2mb and explaining how I can compress if required.when I move on & press the blue continue button at the bottom of the page absolutely nothing happens. I have tried different versions eg pdf all below the required 400kb & I get the same issue all the time. Am I missing something simple or is there a problem with the site atm?
