Article R211-21-3 of the French Insurance Code

The certificate referred to in article R. 211-21-2 is issued by the insurance undertaking within a maximum of fifteen days of taking out the contract and renewed when subsequent premiums or portions of premiums are paid.

If this document cannot be issued immediately, the insurance undertaking will issue a provisional certificate free of charge when the policy is taken out or during the term of the policy.

The validity dates shown on the certificate and the provisional certificate are the same as those shown on the attestation and the provisional attestation.

In the event of loss or theft of the certificate, the insurer will issue a duplicate at the justified request of the policyholder.

Any insurer who refuses to issue a certificate or who issues a certificate that does not comply with the provisions laid down by the Minister for the Economy, Finance and the Budget will be liable to the fine provided for second class offences.

Article R211-21-3

Le certificat mentionné à l’article R. 211-21-2 est délivré par l’entreprise d’assurance dans un délai maximal de quinze jours à compter de la souscription du contrat et renouvelé lors du paiement des primes ou portions de primes subséquentes.

Faute d’établissement immédiat de ce document, l’entreprise d’assurance délivre, sans frais, à la souscription du contrat ou en cours de contrat, un certificat provisoire.

Les dates de validité portées sur le certificat et le certificat provisoire sont les mêmes que celles portées sur l’attestation et l’attestation provisoire.

En cas de perte ou de vol du certificat, l’assureur en délivre un double sur la demande justifiée du souscripteur du contrat.

Sera puni de la peine d’amende prévue pour les contraventions de deuxième classe tout assureur qui aura refusé de délivrer un certificat ou qui aura délivré un certificat non conforme aux dispositions fixées par le ministre de l’économie, des finances et du budget.
