So I’ve finally got an appointment to receive my updated Brexit CdS after a change of address - it only took 18 months!
Received a text (and no email) telling me to get a timbre fiscal, bring my passport, my current CdS and a ‘récipissé’.
Does anybody know what this récipissé might be? I’m assuming it’s not the timbre fiscal receipt cos that was at the start of the list…
Did you receive an email confirming receipt of your original request to “update” ???
or something similar… ??
I think it may be standard text so also for people renewing other CdS’s which have expired. So they will have a récepissé extending its validity.
Stella is correct. The récipissé is the confirmation from the préfecture.
I just want to add the warning I have related before but doesn’t hurt repeating here. You can get the ‘timbre fiscal’ by paying at a Tabac. There is often a suitable one near the préfecture. However, if you decide to pay online, ONLY go through the official website -
I unfortunately did not when we changed our home address and applied for new cards.
I (stupidly) Googled “timbre fiscal” and logged into a website with title closely worded to the above, then I gaily despatched €50 to a scammer. Only found out when we arrived at our préfecture appointment. They were most apologetic and conciliatory. Sent us along the road to repay at the Tabac and then fitted us back into the office on our return.
Every lesson costs someone. I just wish it hadn’t been me. 
not sure why you’re being asked to pay a timbre fiscal when I’m sure it’s been mentioned that it was in the Withdrawal Agreement that Brexit visas / cds’s are and will be free of charge.
Change of address = new card. Taxe because only the Warp first one was taxe free
Yes, exactly. Some Préfectures are being sticky and are saying that if a replacement eg for lost card it is free, but anything that changes it costs. So if you @tc123 are feeling determined you can try to argue that it should be free.
Arm yourself with this, page 3 Item III paragraph 3)

Personally I would buy my timbre fiscal and have it in my back pocket, as you can get reimbursed for them easily if you win the argument,
Good luck.
Defo argue it. Hopefully not another Préfecture deciding that rules France made a national agreement to apply, don’t somehow apply to them.
A change of address is a normal thing in life.
Best of luck, be interesting to learn how this turns out…
Not here in Burgundy, no need for a timbre.
Oh, that’s interesting. In PACA we had to pay taxe on our new CdS after moving home despite staying in the same department and the first being WARP.
That doesn’t surprise me, I had to try to work with them during the withdrawal period and they were awful 
Bandit country!
I hope the second one was also WARP ???
We get free ID cards when we renew them because they run out, but if you lose it and have to replace it, you pay.
PACA - Povence Alpes Cote d’Azure ? If so I wonder which department? Doesn’t sound good…
How much taxe?
Thanks for all the information, I hadn’t even given the taxe a second thought so I will definitely bring it up with them on the day. I shan’t complain if I can get my 25 euros back!
As for the récipissé I only ever received an automated confirmation email on the day I made the request on ANTS. Doesn’t even have a dossier number or anything like that on. Guess I’ll just show them that.
Manche (50) préfecture in St Lo wanted a 25 euro timbre fiscal before they would give us our new change of address cards. It was news to us as the first time we heard about it was when we went to collect them
Well, in the end I wasn’t asked for any récipissé. And I made the point about the fee, read the bit from their circulaire, but was told that because it was for a modification I had to pay. Didn’t argue!
Sensible, not worth it for €25!
