The site allowing you to consult the number of points on your driving license is being enriched. From now on, it includes a forecast schedule on the time to observe before recovering your points. In any case, if no traffic violation occurs in the meantime.
This is a welcome development for drivers who have recently lost points on their driving license. Since March 16, 2024, the “mespoints.permisdeconduit.gouv.fr” platform has indicated to the public the time limit that must be observed before recovering the missing points. It was the Ministry of the Interior which made the announcement on March 19.
This timetable is valid provided that the motorist does not commit a new offense in the meantime. Other information is now also communicated: the date and link of the offense which caused a loss of points, or, in the event of participation in a road safety course, the date and number of points restored.
“ This modernization aims to simplify and facilitate exchanges between the user and the administration and to make them more responsible with regard to compliance with the rules of the highway code thanks to direct and personalized information on their situation. », Comment the ministry services. Later, other features will arrive.
A new section is therefore now accessible after identification via the FranceConnect platform. Motorists can see when the violation was noted (time, date and location are indicated). However, the nature of the driving error (speeding, running red light, etc.) is not specified.
The driving license is modernized
The arrival of this provisional schedule follows an overhaul of the “Telepoints” service, which for more than ten years has made it possible to consult the number of points on your driving license. In November 2023, a new address was set up to consult the points on your driving license.
Another notable development: the driving license can be dematerialized and added to a smartphone. However, it is necessary to have an electronic identity card (CNIe). The type of driving license, on the other hand, is irrelevant. It can be the old pink model, or the bank card format version.
