Number of points on the driving license: who can know the balance?
Verified 13 April 2021 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Only you, the prefecture and the judiciary have access to this information.
An insurer, for example, can't ask you to provide that information.
However, you must declare to your insurer the cancelation of your license.
You must also inform your employer cancelation of your license if your professional activity requires you to drive a vehicle.
FYI
the Telepoints online service allows you to view your points balance and information on the validity and categories of your driving license (restricted information statement). You can also request a full information statement (RII). The RII contains all the information related to your driving license.
