About this translation
The French driving licence (permis de conduire) is issued by the préfecture, with applications now handled through the ANTS, the French agency for secure documents. Depending on when it was issued, it is either the pink paper licence, which went through several models, or the secure credit-card format issued since 2013. It shows the holder's identity, the categories obtained with their dates and, where relevant, restriction codes.
When do you need it translated?
Exchanging it for a local licence after moving abroad, where the host country allows this.
Renting a car or driving during a stay in a country that asks for a translation.
Supporting a visa, relocation or work application, especially for a job that involves driving.
Proving how long you have held a licence to a foreign insurer, if asked.
Our translation
Everything is translated: categories and dates, restriction codes and, on older models, préfecture stamps and handwritten entries. The versions follow the successive licence models, so choose the one whose period covers your licence's issue date. For Australia, where authorities generally ask for a NAATI-certified translation, pick a version marked as such. Legalisation can be added as an option when you order.
