The first order for 473 Saint-Martin driving licenses, a European license valid in mainland France without time restrictions, has been delivered, the Collectivité announced at a press conference. Good news that will appease the anger of some users who have been waiting for their title for a long time.
Guillaume Arnell, the vice-president responsible for the Sustainable Development Pole, Louis Fleming who assists Mr. Arnell on the management, organization and issuance of transport titles, and Jean Arnell, president of Computech, responsible for the design of permits until their issue, so the first Saint-Martin permits were shown to the press. The issuance of these permits has been delayed due to the many points to be observed relating to the European Charter. “We are subject to European transport regulations. We had to carry out a multi-layered license with security elements valid all over the world, in mainland France, overseas, without time restriction ”, specified Jean Arnell, recalling that it was also necessary to design an information management system for drivers, offense management, etc. It is the titles department which gives the orders for the production of permits. The next order will contain 297 permits. For the moment, there are 773 files pending, without photo and signature. "People in possession of provisional documents must bring a photo and go to the securities department to complete their file," said Jean Arnell. For the time being, the securities department does not deal with license holders in three parts.

Mandatory exchange
You will have to exchange your driving license obtained overseas for a license issued in mainland France: if you commit, in mainland France, an offense involving suspension, cancellation of the license or withdrawal of points; or if you pass in metropolitan France a new category of permit; or if the validity of your license has expired.
