International Driving Permit (page 2 of 2)

The sentence you're translating isn't clear either. The documents provided to the British and Canadians, for example, are perfectly valid without being issued by a government. It turns out that the countries where governments have claimed this monopoly aren't that numerous after all.

I often manage to get results. I had a note removed from Copenhagen Airport’s website the other day, in the section about security filter instructions. Especially since there’s a great opportunity to save money here.😊

All you have to do is read everything written in the link...

Each country delegates the issuance of International Driving Permits to an approved office. Sometimes it’s an automobile association, but not always. In France, it’s the ANTS that was chosen.

If you want, you can request that it be delegated to the FNAC, but I’m afraid one part of the process might bother you...

There’s a verification of the validity of the driver’s license you submit against the database of said licenses...

I had one a while back—I think it was issued by the Alsace automobile club. It worked great, and if the whole world can manage without having this handled by a costly state agency that doesn’t even provide good service, there’s no reason it can’t change. Since an international permit isn’t valid on its own, the argument about verification doesn’t hold any real weight.

The question asked has been answered. Goodbye Michel

Glad I could help you ask the right questions and dig deeper into things. Your humble servant.

Hi Boris, You're right on time for the ANTS process, and it's free. They currently list a 4-month processing time.

Hi Tatra,

This page explains the rules pretty clearly for most countries: https://www.securite-routiere.gouv.fr/les-differents-permis-de-conduire/permis-international-et-permis-etranger/recapitulatif-des

Right now, the ANTS processing time is 4 months, and the service is still free 😅
