Non-European licenses: attention to mandatory exchange periods

If you are a Swiss, Monegasque, Andorran, British or European Economic Area (EEA) countries, and if your driving license has been issued by a non-European country, you must request the exchange of your license for a French license from 6^e month of stay in France and before the 18th^e month.

If you are a non-European national, you must request the exchange of your permit less than 1 year after the date of submission of your residence card (or after the date of validation by Ofii, the French Immigration and Integration Office, of your long-stay visa as a residence permit).

Driving licenses obtained in Europe (EEA + United Kingdom)

The exchange of a driving license obtained in a European State is not necessary to drive in France. Your permit must only be valid. This procedure is mandatory only if you are applying for a new category of license or if you commit certain road traffic offenses in France.
