About this procedure
Whether you can simply exchange your foreign driving licence, or must pass the French test, depends on where it was issued and how long you have lived in France. There are strict deadlines, especially for non-EU licences, and the application is made online through ANTS. The assistant checks your eligibility, tells you which documents and translations you need, and guides you through the ANTS submission and tracking.
Documents usually involved
- Your foreign driving licence (and an official translation if needed)
- Valid passport or residence permit
- Proof of address in France
- Recent ID photo (e-photo code)
- Proof of the date you became a French resident
Your done-for-you dossier turns this into a checklist tailored to your exact case.

Frequently asked questions
Can every foreign licence be exchanged?
No. It depends on the issuing country or US state and reciprocity agreements. Non-exchangeable licences require passing the French test. The assistant checks your specific case.
Is there a deadline?
Yes, especially for non-EU licences: typically you must apply within a limited period after establishing residence. Missing it can force you to retake the test.
Do I need to translate my licence?
Usually yes for non-EU/non-EEA licences, often by an approved or sworn translator. The assistant tells you how to confirm the requirement for your licence.
