Electronic traffic offence notice
The ANTAI now sends electronic traffic offence notices in three separate situations:
- 1st situation: at the time of an arrest, you gave your e-mail address to the police officer who issued you with a notice.
- 2nd situation: you have been designated as the perpetrator of an offence by a lessor, your employer or the person who lent you their vehicle. The person who designated you then sent your e-mail address to ANTAI.
- 3rd situation: your email is registered in the French vehicle registration system (SIV).
Important: in both situations, you must expressly agree to receive the notice of infraction in a dematerialized form. For that, you must:
- Open the email sent by ANTAI with the sender address nepasrepondre_noreply@antai.fr
- Click on the link contained in this email
- Check the box where you expressly agree to receive the notice of infraction electronically.
If you refuse or do not open your electronic notice of offence within 7 days, you will receive it by mail. Payment and appeal deadlines will run from the new date of the notice of infraction received at your postal address.
Your email address is only used once, in the context of the file for which it was transmitted. To be reused later for the sending of new notices of violation, it must be sent again to the ANTAI.
The following graphic shows the various steps involved in sending electronic infraction notices :
