Question 10765 — road safety

Summary

Ms. Agnès Carel draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior and Overseas Territories to the deadlines for obtaining an international driving license. In many countries outside the European Union, the French driving license can only be accepted if you have an international driving license. In France, the administration recommends that users send their request to produce the permit to the administration. international at least 6 months before their departure abroad. Today, in reality, the time taken to obtain this document in France is 6 to 9 months, which has become incomprehensible and unacceptable for most applicants. This deadline is considered particularly long compared to the deadlines for producing the international license in other European countries such as Spain, Germany or Italy. Thus, it is delivered immediately by appointment in Germany and Spain. In the latter country, the online procedure allows you to obtain the international permit in 2 days. In Italy, the lead time following an appointment is on average 15 days. The specificity of the international permit application procedure in France, apart from its free nature which does not justify the processing times, lies in its complexity: in firstly, the holder of a French driving license must make a pre-application online, then secondly, he must send several additional documents by mail to the administration. Despite the existence of faster procedures in the event of a professional emergency, the deadlines for issuing an international driving license should not exceed one month regardless of the reason for the request, which would seem be a correct duration to meet the expectations of the French. Also, she asks him what measures he plans to take quickly to simplify and considerably accelerate the processing of international driving license applications, to respond to a legitimate request from fellow citizens who wish or need to travel.
