Only if you intend to drive in any of the areas where one is required.

For the price i would say yes ,it lasts the life of the vehicle, I go to France nearly every year and never needed it but still have it stuck on the windscreen along with the German one . Watch where you buy from,

Have a look here https://urbanaccessregulations.eu to check, go through the official site https://www.certificat-air.gouv.fr if you decide to get one, cost is small as far as i recall, less than £5.

Hi,

When I applied for mine I supplied a photo of page 1 & 2 of my V5 just to be on the safe side but I think you only need a photo of page 2. Its all very straightforward.

Duffie,
At only 4.51 Euros (in july 2020) for the life of your van it avoids hassle and uncertainty as the classification you are given will make it easy to know which cities you may enter.
Use the official french government site.

Air Quality Certificate Service - Ministère de la Transition écologique

The Air Quality Certificate is a colored sticker that sticks to the vehicle, which indicates its environmental class according to its emissions of air pollutants. It allows the least polluting vehicles to be able to circulate in conurbations where traffic restrictions have been introduced to...

Sorry Rebbyvid beat me to it.

As already said by rebbyvid above, be careful where you apply.
There is a very official and convincing site that frequently comes up on Google that will charge you a lot more than the French government site.

Heres a link to the German Umwelt as there are plenty of rip off sites out there. €6

Online-application environmental zone sticker - Berlin.de

Like many above.. For the few euros they cost, just get one.
You may not plan to drive in any towns or cities BUT roadworks and getting lost could always happen.

Follow the official link as above

The only downside is once you register they have all your details to send a speeding ticket to you IF you get caught on the MANY MANY cameras
alway at the bottom of a hill on a wide straight road , so easy to over speed if you don’t brake

Best to have it just in case you need to enter any crit air zones, you can put it on the windscreen next to your “we’ve been vaccinated sticker”

Go on tell me how they are going to get us after Brexit if they can no longer access our DVLA data base

I found the biggest problem with French one is making the V5 file small enough to attach. Its a ridiculously small file allowance. German one is no problem

I remember that being an issue.

I got my wife to do it in the end because it was beyond me.

I meant in previous years ... thou that said the French are pretty good at collecting 'taxes' - in future they'll probably nab us at the ports if we have anything outstanding.
