Question 13910 — exams, competitions and diplomas

Summary

Ms. Hélène Laporte draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the needs of the Lot-et-Garonne department in terms of numbers of driving license inspectors. In June 2025, the department's parliamentarians alerted Mr. Retailleau about an already critical situation: with five inspectors in office, three of whom were actually active, deadlines of six to seven months were imposed on new candidates before being able to perform the examination. For those who deferred, the delay before being able to appear again was up to a year. As a result, a sixth inspector position was assigned and filled in September 2025. Although this reinforcement of the workforce was essential, it is far from sufficient to allow candidates to benefit from reasonable deadlines: deadlines of around one year are still applicable in the event of failure. The entry into function of a new inspector during the month of April 2026 will probably not be enough to significantly improve the current situation. In addition, the possibility of registering in another department remains strongly limited by additional application fees and the need to carry out a new evaluation which can increase the cost of obtaining the permit by around 200 euros. In a context of unreasonable waiting in the department, these additional constraints are abnormal. She therefore wishes to know what measures he intends to take quickly to improve access to driving licenses for Lot-et-Garon residents, the current situation significantly affecting the lives of candidates.
