Suninfrance Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 How long do they usually take to come through.My UK licence expired at the beginning of August, so filled out al the paperwork, got the relevant copies of what was needed and handed everything over at the sous prefecture in Brive. I was given a sheet of paper with my UK driving license details on it which runs until February next year (I assume it's a temporary licence). Has anyone else changed their UK licence for a French one and how long did it take for the new licence to arrive?Janxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Mine took about 10 days by post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Mine took about 7 weeks but it was holiday time! Beware, the bit of paper is only valid in France. I remember this well because the o/h had to drive all around Germany and Belgium as I had no paperwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 We were lucky - took the paperwork in at 2pm and collected the new license at 3.30 pm same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suninfrance Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Seems that it depends on where you live. I suppose the beginning of August is not a good time to get things like this sorted out. I shall just have to keep checking the post box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
