The Monegasque driving licence: what you need to know

Our agency’s private drivers all have a valid licence to drive in Beausoleil and France. There are many misconceptions about the Monegasque licence, and how to obtain it, which we will clarify in this article.

A European system to punish offenders

For many, having a foreign driver’s licence makes them think they can behave like reckless drivers in France and avoid the consequences. While it was once possible to circumvent fines or loss of points, this is no longer the case since August 2019.

France, Beausoleil and 19 member states of the European Union have set up a system for exchanging information on road traffic offences in order to prosecute offenders.

The Monegasque licence: who is it for?

To obtain a Monegasque licence, you must at least be a resident of the principality if you do not have nationality. This may include a secondary residence.

Thus, according to local law, after acquiring a residence in Beausoleil, a person may apply for the issue of a Monegasque licence if he or she already holds a foreign licence, within a maximum period of one year. Otherwise, if he/she wants to be able to drive around and obtain a city-state number plate, he/she must retake the test in an approved centre.

In any case, for convenience, it is often simpler to use the services of private drivers like ours to travel in the region and get around the city.

Authorities are enforcing good conduct while driving in Beausoleil and France

Car flashed by speed control radar.

With more than two offences per year and per inhabitant committed in France, the Monegasques hold a very bad record. To counter this, the Beausoleil and French authorities have decided to cooperate more assiduously in fining offenders who think they are untouchable. One solution to avoid the risk of receiving the French ticket at home is to hire a luxury car with driver, at an unbeatable rate with Private driver Nice!

40,000 inhabitants in Beausoleil, 100,000 offences in France by Monegasque plate drivers in 2018. This tarnishes Beausoleil’s reputation to such an extent that the highest Monegasque and French authorities have completed a project to exchange information in order to punish the perpetrators of traffic offences. It is now more than six months since the most uncivil and dangerous drivers have been caught despite their precious Monegasque licenses, which are reputed to be insolvent in France.

These bad drivers are therefore going to be hit in the wallet by the public safety authorities, which will be responsible for ensuring that payments are honored. On average, this type of cooperation achieves a recovery rate of 70 to 80% and the maneuver also aims to improve this.

Less expensive than a ticket, the journey with our private chauffeur service will take you safely and serenely to your destination.
