You can drive in France using a foreign driver’s license, but after a certain time, some nationalities need to exchange it for a French driver’s license.

Whether you’re moving to France or just visiting, the good news is that France recognizes driving licenses issued by a large number of countries. France also has agreements that allow certain drivers to easily exchange their existing license for a French driving license.

Unless you’re from the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA – EU plus Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein) or Switzerland, most foreigners can use a foreign driving license in France for the first year only after obtaining residency. Before then, you must get a French license either by exchanging your foreign license or by taking the French driving test.

Who can drive in France?

Every foreigner who is over 18 and holds a full driving license can drive in France for at least one year after arrival. Younger drivers with a license in their home country can’t drive in France until they turn 18.

If you have a driving license from an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland, you can use your license in France indefinitely.

Everyone else must get a French license within the first 12 months of arrival. Foreign driving licenses are invalid one year from the date of residency.

EU/EEA citizens driving in France

If you have a driver’s license issued by an EU/EEA country, you can drive in France for an unlimited period of time as long as:

• the license is valid and does not have any endorsements, restrictions, or suspensions
• you are above the French minimum age for driving the vehicle category (e.g., 18 for cars)
• you’re in compliance with any legal medical restrictions (e.g., prescription glasses)

You can choose to exchange your license to a French one if you wish. However, if you commit a driving offense and get points on your license, you have to exchange it.

Non-EU/EEA citizens driving in France

If you hold a full non-European license, you can drive in France for up to one year without needing a French license. However, you must meet a few conditions:

• the license is valid and does not have any endorsements, restrictions, or suspensions
• it must have been issued in your previous country of residence and you must have lived there for at least six months
• it must be accompanied by either an official translation of the license into French or alternatively, an International Driving Permit (IDP)
• you are above the French minimum age for driving the vehicle category (e.g., 18 for cars)
• in compliance with any legal medical restrictions (e.g., prescription glasses)

At the end of the year, you must get a French license unless you are a student or a diplomat.
