Just a heads-up that @kim has posted on her Facebook group that there will be a €40 fee for exchanging driving licences as of 4 May.
After a couple of months of procrastination, that’s been enough to push Mrs H to get on with it.
BTW. ANTS login is currently unavailable, due to the hack I presume.
Thanks for the heads up! Might be just the kick I need too. I’m right in thinking I’ll still have my UK one safely in hand in late June / early July if I submit in the next couple of weeks?
At the outset I was told it would be c6-8 months from submission to having to hand over my UK DL, and that was almost exactly what happened.You should be fine in being able to hang onto your UK DL for June if you submitted now.
You beat me to it, I was going to post tomorrow .. lol
@toryroo you keep your licence until you are asked to send it in and at that point you get a temp licence only valid in France and a letter to return your original licence to CERT.
Probably just updating the system as the hack was a week ago.
My application’s in the system. Does that mean I’m going to get clobbered with the fee as for sure they won’t process it for several months more yet?
Seems a pretty steep amount for a fee btw. If ANTS hadn’t leaked all our data I’d be fractionally less narked.
My understanding is it is being brought in on 04/05 so those already in the system there will be no charge, they can’t retrospectively charge you 40€, so unless your application gets cancelled it’s very unlikely that you will be charged.
