Horrors, I have lost my driving licence and have reapplied to ANTS. Does anyone know how long it takes?
According to their acknowledgement, I need the Attestation to drive, though I do have a copy of the lost licence. A friend who exchanged his foreign one for French got his Attestation straightaway and it only took 3 weeks for the new licence to come through. I suppose having "lost" mine, they have to do more checks to check that I haven't been banned, etc.
I can't see how to contact ANTS. None of the multiple-choice questions for either an email or on the phone, seem to apply to getting an Attestation or the time frame. My application is registered but is still there for "analyse par le service instructeur".
I think I will have to resort to sending a letter by post.

I was about to reply but my reply would have been for a lost English licence. I think your lost one must be French, in which case they surely already have all your info on a database somewhere so shouldn't take too long? I can tell you that "analyse par le service instructeur" can be there for a long time. There's a very good English language Facebook site I used when waiting for my licence (out of date UK exchange) where there are experts answering a huge range of ANTS questions. www.facebook.com/groups/206199943590115 |

I recently had to renew my Poids Lourds (HGV) categories. I was at the en cours d'analyse par le service instructeur stage from 27th April until 7th June. I finally received my updated licence last Monday (19th).

Thanks LPT. That gives me some sort of timeline. I have an ANTS

Not sure what happened there - suddenly chopped off. Here goes again, thanks. As I said, that has given me a possible time line. It's not having the interim Attestation which is the current problem. I am driving with notarised copy of the previous licence but, reading their acknowledgement receipt, it says that I should not drive until I get the Attestation!
I will try ringing them again tomorrow and choose the most appropriate multiple choice question and see if I get through to a human.
Thanks again;

Just an update in case anyone else has applied to ANTS.
New driving licence arrived - took 4 weeks exactly. Thought that was quite good. The Attestation came after just over 2 weeks and the licence within a month. I had been fearing a much longer wait.
