Hello,
I have a UK registered Ifor Williams trailer which I would like to register here in France. It was brought over pre Brexit and I have all the paperwork for it from first ownership. Thought it would be relatively straightforward - pay Ifor Williams for CoC then register via ANTS site…… unfortunately IW are saying they no longer issue Certs for trailers of this age, but they may be able to issue a ‘Barre Rouge’ whatever that it - they say it ‘may’ let me register it here……
I guess it might be easier, quicker and cheaper just to get it inspected if IW barre rouge is not recognised by ANTS. Has anyone been through this procedure and know what I need to make sure I have in place? Got all the paperwork since original purchase from IW dealer and it has its serial number stamped chassis and on metal plate on towbar. Lights, brakes etc all in order but I am pretty sure there will be something additional required! Any advice or tips appreciated. Thank you.
Me! Registered a 24 yr old trailer with no previous paperwork. Feel free to dm me .
Thank you! I will message you

Good luck, I gave up and took mine back to UK to sell.
Hi Cat,
I am just in the same process as I see you went through last year. I have a 25 year old Ifor Williams trailer and getting the Barre Rouge story from them. The trailer is to good to get rid of and start again. Any help would be really appreciated

Dear cat we have an Ifor William Trailer HB506 from 2010with belgian conformity certificat and I would like to have it registred in France From the post of 2022 I am under the impression you had previous experience on this. Could you please inform me of the procedure. Many thanks in advance Maddelin Family
Hi,
If you have a Belgian COC you shouldn’t have any issues and it can all be done online via the ANTS site here https://ants.gouv.fr/
Good luck!

Hello cat, hope all well with the move. 
I’ve just posted in the ‘buy me a coffee thread! Xx
Just read it. Well done all of you (and especially the horses).
thank you I will try by ants
ANTS can not registrate an Ifor Williams trailer on base of a belgian certificate - Ifor William sellers France don’t seem willing to inform on how to obtain a certificate I called IW UK and they can not deliver a french certificate for my belgian HB506 from 2010 They check now if I am eligeable for a barre rouge Did any of you have possibility to registrate an IW trailer in France by that barre rouge
willing or knowing as some say straight away it seems a jungle
I registered mine using a barre rouge from Ifor Germany.
Sorry to jump on your post, but have you had any luck with registering your IW horse trailer? Could you do it with a Barre Rouge in the end?
Can I ask which dept was happy to register with a Barre Rouge? It sounds as if some depts are happy to do it and others aren’t !
Registration has nothing to do with departments, it’s all centralised with ANTS.
