International Removals to and from Metz
Metz removals run through an online-only parking request made about eight working days ahead, with signs the city lends and a printout to place inside the vehicle.
A few short questions. Nothing is sent until you check and confirm.
What does a Metz move involve?
Metz has moved its moving-day parking request entirely online. The service covers both people leaving Metz and people arriving, and it separates a private move from one carried out by a removal professional.
Tell the crew the street, the floor and whether the address lies in the pedestrian centre, because the centre has its own access request.
Duty and VAT on goods entering France are covered on our customs page for moving to France. The seven-day permit request and the Grande Île access limits that apply in Strasbourg are set out on our Strasbourg removals page.
How do you request moving-day parking in Metz?
The city's housing and works page (opens in a new window) (no update date shown) says the single procedure for moving is online, and that paper, PDF, posted or emailed forms are no longer processed.
The online service (opens in a new window) asks whether you are an individual or a removal professional, and whether you are leaving Metz or arriving. It quotes no fee.
After the request you receive by email a document to print and place visibly inside the vehicle, to avoid a fine.
How early must you ask Metz for moving parking?
The online service says the step is done within the eight working days before the move. An older city paper form asked that the request arrive at least eight working days before. Plan to eight working days at the least and confirm with the city.
Ask the removal company who completes the request, since the service offers a professional profile.
Does Metz lend no-parking signs for a move?
Yes, the online service says signs can be collected three or four days before the date at the city signage service on rue Dreyfus Dupont, Monday to Friday, 7h to 15h. The older paper form added that loans depend on stock.
Collect them in person within that window, so the move date and the collection day need to fit your timetable.
What if the address is in the Metz pedestrian centre?
Access and parking on the pedestrian plateau go through a separate request, sent by email, by post or to the municipal police reception desk. The city page (opens in a new window) lists a proof of address under three months old, a copy of the registration certificate and, where relevant, proof of a garage.
The page does not mention removal vehicles, hours, notice or fees, so ask the city before the date.
For Reims, where the city pages returned nothing readable, see Reims.
