Friend, non resident in france but has bought property. He bought a caravan in france and can’t insure it until he registers it.
cant register it because he is not a French resident he is told.
Anybody provide advice of a solution to this problem? He has returned back home and I said I would ask around and was sure someone the forum would have experience or knowledge of this situation.

This site : www.ecartegrise.fr/blog/demarche/comment-immatriculer-un-vehicule-en-france-quand-on-vit-a-letranger.html

says it is possible.

Your friend needs to show proof of his address - a copy of the proof of purchase certificate he received from the Notaire when he bought his house should do very well.
Other sites say he has 30 days to register the change of name and address on the existing cancelled carte grise he would get from the seller of the caravan - in other words apply for a carte grise in his name for the caravan.
