Beat the 1-year deadline. We handle the whole exchange.
Exchange your US license before the deadline. Eligibility, dossier, ANTS, follow-up, all handled.
You have one year from settling in France to swap your US license for a French one. Miss it, and you're retaking the full French driving exam. The exchange itself isn't hard, but it stalls on small things: a missing translation, an ANTS submission that went silent, an eligibility question no one answered clearly. We keep it moving.
The 1-year clock most Americans miss
Driving in France gets essential fast, especially outside the big cities. And the window to exchange your US license without retaking the exam is usually one year from your first date of establishment. After that, the easy path is gone. You're looking at the full French driving exam, theory and road test, in French.
Most people don't miss the deadline because they're ineligible. They miss it because the process feels manageable, so they put it off. Then they start late and hit a wall: a sworn translation in the wrong format, an ANTS submission that just sits there, an eligibility question about their state that no one answers clearly. The portal goes quiet, and there's no one to push it.
A single missing piece is what stalls almost every exchange. Not difficulty. A detail, and a clock that doesn't stop.
How we run it
One process for every move. You book the call, we take the French side from there.
Confirm eligibility
It starts with a quick check. You tell us your US state and your date of establishment in France. We confirm whether the exchange is realistic for your profile before you spend time or money on documents.
Checklist and translations
Once you are eligible and decide to go ahead, we build a checklist matched to your situation and identify every document that needs a sworn translation, then coordinate the translator for you.
Build and submit to ANTS
We organize your complete dossier with correct naming and ordering, then guide the ANTS online submission and keep proof of everything filed. Your file goes in the way the portal expects.
Follow up until it's through
The ANTS portal often goes quiet. We follow up if your dossier stalls and help you respond fast if a request comes back. You get a written handover of what was filed and the next step.
What you get
We take you from eligibility confirmation to a submitted, documented, and followed-up ANTS dossier. We confirm whether the exchange is realistic for your US state before you spend time on documents, build the checklist matched to your situation, coordinate the sworn translations, structure the dossier, and run the ANTS submission and follow-up so it doesn't stall on a preventable detail. The deadline stops being a risk you're carrying alone.
Everything we handle
Eligibility orientation
We confirm whether the exchange is realistic for your profile and your US state before you invest any time. If your state has no reciprocity agreement, we tell you clearly and explain the alternatives.
Checklist & translations
We build a checklist matched to your situation, identify every document that needs a sworn translation, and coordinate the translator so everything stays consistent.
Dossier build
We organize your complete file with consistent naming, correct ordering, and the supporting materials that reduce requests for more information.
ANTS submission & follow-up
We guide the online submission, keep proof of everything filed and when, and follow up if the dossier stalls or a request comes back.
Is this the right fit?
Who runs your exchange, and who backs it up
Maxime & Aurelio run your license exchange and stay your single point of contact from eligibility check to submitted dossier.
Aurelio is the strategist. He knows the state-by-state reciprocity rules and what ANTS expects, so the first thing you get is a straight answer on whether your exchange is realistic, before you spend a euro on translations.
Maxime runs the operational front: the dossier build, the ANTS submission, and the follow-up. He's the one who pushes when the portal goes quiet, which it often does, so your file doesn't sit for months waiting on a response no one is chasing.
When your file needs a licensed professional, we bring in the right one, already briefed:
You never have to find or vet the translator. We coordinate it and keep everything consistent.
