Finally Have My Permis de Conduire


Finally! I already have my driving license or the so-called permis de conduire here in France. If my memory is right, we went at the préfecture last October last year. November last year as well we received a mail and it said that we have to go at the post office to pick the item up but as we went back home by December, it means that the mail didn't rest until that month at the post office and it has to go back from where it came from. Just this month, I had to sent them a letter stating where my driving license is and to explain them that I was not around here the entire month of November due to my holidays in Philippines. It took them 1 week I think before they sent me a mail saying that I'll just have to go at the préfecture directly on this specific window to claim it. Hubby was the one who went at the préfecture to get my driver's license with the authorization letter I gave him and my titre de séjour. Oh yea, France is really that strict. Paperworks are not over yet coz very soon, I have to renew my titre de séjour all over again. But for the mean time, I am just super happy that I finally have my driver's license. I was teasing hubby if I could drive him BM now and he said NO! lolz

France still has the "paper like" driver's license? Germany started using the "card like" driver's license years back, and I thought it's standard for the whole EU. Thanks for the info.
