How do I take the driving test as an independent candidate in France?

The driving test is organized and supervised by the Prefecture of the department in which you are taking the test and from which the inspectors who evaluate you on the day of the test depend. To register for the driving test as an independent candidate, you must send a registration file to the Prefecture.

As far as learning to drive as an independent candidate is concerned, you have 2 possibilities:

rent a learner’s car and learn with the accompanist of your choice,
learn with a driving school instructor.

While you are learning to drive, the Prefecture processes your file and you will receive a notice to appear for the exam at home 3 weeks before the exam date.
