what will change with the end of the sticker on the windshield on April 1

The insurance sticker that you place on the windshield of your car will disappear on April 1, 2024. Policyholders will receive a memo to keep.

From April 1, 2024, the green card and car insurance sticker will be replaced by a memo from insurers.

The first goal of this reform is to simplify the lives of policyholders. There is no longer a need to replace the little green paper butterfly that you place on the windshield of your car every year. The insurance contract is recorded directly in the insured vehicle file, a large database that brings together all the important information about your car and your contract. It is this file that the police will consult directly during an inspection.

Second objective: reduce the costs associated with the production and shipping of green stickers. The result is a saving of 60 million euros per year, or the cost of sending 50 million stickers, and 1,200 tons less CO2 in the atmosphere. Third objective: fight against false insurance fraud.
