Question 19107 — road safety

Summary

Mr. Patrick Hetzel draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the dysfunction of the service managing, for French citizens, the exchange of a foreign driving license (European or not) for a French driving license. This service depends on the Nantes prefecture. The situation is becoming very worrying since the average time to obtain the exchange is at least one year and can reach 18 months! After providing all documents, people do not receive a receipt proving the certificate of deposit. This service does not give any indication of the number of months to wait for the validation of the exchange. Reminders by registered letters are not followed by any response. However, it happens that insurance companies end up no longer agreeing to insure the vehicles of people who only have a foreign license. Some people have lost their employment due to the slowness of this administration. Complications multiply when purchasing a car. Also, he would like to know what is planned to drastically reduce the time to receive a French driving license. Since the use of the foreign license is authorized for one year, he also asks what recourse is available to the insurance companies if the administration is not able to respond within this period.
