Terms and Conditions
Revised: 30/06/2026
These terms and conditions detail the conditions of sale and govern the use of the Crit’Air Stickers website (https://critairsticker.co.uk) and all orders for Crit’Air stickers placed through this website.
Crit Air Stickers Limited acts on your behalf as an agent to process your Crit’Air application via the French Ministry of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion and sends you the result via email or WhatsApp and postal letter. We charge an administration fee for our transliteration and transposition service. Our fee also covers our customer support services.
The total price you pay includes a €4.91 fee which we pay on your behalf to the French Ministry of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion (as a disbursement). The sticker is issued in your name and the cost is passed through at the exact amount charged by the French authorities.
The exact GBP breakdown of our service and administration fee is determined at the time we pay the French authorities, due to exchange rate fluctuations.
VAT applies only to the service fee, not the official vignette fee. VAT number: 521338028
We are not affiliated with the French Ministry of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion.
You can obtain a Crit’Air sticker from the French Ministry of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion without using our service, in which case there is no service administration fee payable. Crit Air Stickers Limited is not a government agency and does not represent a government agency. You may want to use our service to make your application easy, fast and simple. We are available for customer support if you need assistance.
