The end of the green sticker put on the windshield of your car will take place on April 1st. With this change, insurers will no longer face a fine of 35 euros.
From April 1st, here is a fine that the police will no longer be able to issue you. Until now, in the event of failure to present the insurance certificate, the penalty provided for was 35 euros.
From Monday, you will no longer need to drive with your green butterfly and it will no longer be necessary to affix the insurance sticker to the windshield of your car.
A measure which is far from being known by all motorists since 37% of French people are still unaware that the car insurance certificate will soon be completely dematerialized according to a recent survey.
A memo in place of the insurance certificate
From now on, from next week, in the event of an inspection by the police, they will consult the insured vehicle file (FVA) directly. This contains in memory all the vehicles insured with motor third party liability. Despite the end of the green card, taking out car insurance remains an obligation.
To replace the green card, motorists will receive a memo from their insurer. When you have been insured for less than 72 hours, your vehicle may not yet be included in the insured vehicle file. You can then, in the event of an inspection, present the insured vehicle memo to the police, explains the service-public site.

It is also already possible to check whether your car is listed in the FVA. If it is not and you do not have an MMO, you risk a fine of up to 3,750 euros and a withdrawal of your license.
