Euro Standard for Crit'Air sticker for France

    Question about buying a Crit'Air sticker for an upcoming trip to France (early July).

    The website at https://www.certificat-air.gouv.fr/ wants to know the Euro standard of the car, but I don't see anything on the registration certificate to say what it is. There's an option for "no Euro standard indicated on the registration certificate", and then it just asks for date of first registration instead - is this the way to go?

    Car is a 142 reg Audi A4 diesel, if that makes any difference. I'm led to believe this would be Euro Standard 5, but since I don't see anything on the VLC to say so, should I take that "no Euro standard indicated" option, and hope for the best?

    I would imagine if it doesn’t have Adblue then it’s Euro5

    According to the attached euro 5&6 for diesel are treated the same way if no mention on vlc:

    Thanks folks. I was pretty sure it was Euro 5 all right, but the question was what to actually put on the application form, since the Vehicle Licensing Cert doesn't actually say that - i.e. whether to put Euro 5 anyway, or take the "no Euro standard indicated" option.

    In the end, I took a chance on putting Euro 5 anyway. PDF version of the thing arrived by email today, and apparently the sticker itself is coming by post, so all worked out.

    I'm completely ignorant on this,

    So if I'm a tourist in France with an Irish reg car, do I need a special sticker ?

    If you intend to enter specially marked ecological zones - then yes.

    Yeah, it's just if you intend driving through certain zones in major cities. List of them here: https://www.environmentalbadge.com/eco-zones-france/

    Really just getting it as a precaution myself - will be driving from Cherbourg to Disneyland Paris. Not sure if I'll even be going through the Paris zone (depends what way the sat nav takes me!), but it's less than a fiver cost, so may as well have it anyway.
