Online services

You only need to register on the ANTS website if you wish to register for a new category.

The licence number (or NEPH number) is not a compulsory field when you submit your application online.

When you register for the code, you get an error message "date of birth problem for 00/00/19XX".

 

This date of birth format is not currently supported by some approved code operators.

 

This anomaly is therefore beyond our control and is the sole responsibility of these companies.

 

You should therefore contact these organisations to have your date of birth accepted.

 

They are:

• Bureau Veritas, with Code n'Go
• Dekra, with the Dekra Code
• La Poste, with Passer mon code avec La Poste
• Pearson Vue, with Point Code
• SGS, with Objectif Code
• Exa Code

Applying for a driving licence online is a completely paperless process.

All the application’s supporting documents (identity document, proof of address, etc.) must be provided in digital format.

 

To digitise the documents, use:

• A scanner
• A smartphone

All you have to do is upload the photo of the supporting document to your online application.

Are you having problems scanning documents?

 

Points Numériques (digital help centres) and Maisons de Services Au Public (public service centres) equipped with scanners are available to help you with the process.

It is now possible to apply for a driving licence by providing a digital photo and signature.

 

Only approved professional photographers and photo booths can provide a photograph and signature in digital format. They can be identified by a blue sticker indicating "ANTS approved online services".

 

How is the digital photo-signature taken?

• Nothing is changed about how the photograph is taken.
• Write your signature using a stylus on a tablet or touchscreen.

As with a traditional photo session, you will be given a photo-signature sheet on which a 22-digit code is indicated.

 

When you fill out the driving licence application form online, all you have to do is enter this number to link the photo and signature to your file.

At stage 4 of your application, simply select the "I have a traditional passport-size photo" option.

 

When you have completed the application, you will need to print out the form with your photo and signature.

 

This document, to which you must affix your photo and sign your name, must be sent by ordinary post (not tracked or registered post) without any other letter or supporting documents, to the address shown on it.

If you have not saved your form, you can print it from your ANTS account.

 

In the "Your requests/applications"dashboard, select "View" from the drop-down menu.

 

The photo-signature document is available under the heading "Photo/signature of the person named on the document".

Before registering for the written test, you need to apply online via our ANTS website.

 

Once the application has been processed by the examining department, the NEPH code is activated and you can register for the written test.

 

However, a NEPH code can be deactivated for no particular reason. You then need to reactivate this code to register for the written test.

Once this has been done, it takes 48 hours for the NEPH code to become active again.
