jehe Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 In September of last year I carried out all the necessary actions to comply with ANTS requirements to exchange my UK license to a French one. I have checked the site almost weekly since then and each time the status of my request was given as 'under investigation'. On Friday I checked again only to find that my application has been deleted from the site. I am now left with a UK driving license that expired at the end of January and having to start the procedure from scratch. The real issue is that as my application was prior to Brexit it was not subject to a new agreement being reached however if I start again I am left in limbo whilst the UK agrees (or not) to reciprocal license exchange.

NickP Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Britain has signed an agreement over driving licence exchanges, the delay is due to the French having to pass the deal through parliament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jehe Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 Thanks for the reply's so far. I will look at the Facebrook group to see if they can throw some light on my problem. I appreciate those who took the time to reply. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickP Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Unfortunately, I can't see your link as I've been blocked because the person who runs it, thinks her word is law. I had the temerity to voice the opinion that the agreement would be signed and there would be no problems. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judith-aka-Judith Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 NickP,I fact you are incorrect on this one. Kim who runs the Facebook page not only has direct contact with ANTS, she keeps (and is kept) up to date with it all. Her page is full of correct information, and she knew that this announcement was imminent, and it appeared on the FB group she manages as soon as it was cleared to be publicised, with a comment that it would be best to wait to act until the MOI produced their information before the end of the day (it did), as that would be the definitive information to follow. So no brickbats please. In this instance they are totally unjustified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickP Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 No brickbats please? OK for you to say that, she hasn't blocked you because you disagreed with her comments. It's not a matter of me throwing brickbats at all. It's a matter of someone using their powers to force their own views and not allowing others to do the same. Facebook gets lots of anti comments also not everybody has access to it. So you might want to assist people who aren't Facebookers and chance?

nomoss Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 As usual, it seems that certain people, in certain circles, knowing the right people, or belonging to the right groups, have access to information before anyone else [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritinBretagne Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 The FB exchanging driving licences page has been recognised as a reliable source of information for a long time now. The information is available to everyone (except of course those who’s behaviour has resulted in their being banned). It is not a private club, anyone can join.

Weegie Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I don't do social media because, rightly or wrongly, I do not trust them. My choice.In relation to getting information about exchange of Uk driving licences, I can get it from official sites should I need to. However, I have no need for it as I have had a French driving licence for the past 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomoss Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 It's not Facebook, so maybe not reliable[:D], but for the probably few on here who still use UK driving licenCes, THIS is the latest information from the French gov't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
