Driving license balance: how to know the number of points?

Verified 11 September 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

To know the point balance on your license, you can use the on-line service My Points Allowed. You're also informed by post.

Reminder

The address on the vehicle registration certificate duty be up to date. In case of change of address, the update must be made within the 1 month period.

On the Internet

The online service My Points Allowed allows you to view the number of points that you have on your driving license :

Consult the information of the driving license (balance of points, restricted information statement, full information statement...)

By mail

In case of infringement, you receive a letter indicating the number of lost points and your balance.

If you have lost some of your points

You receive a single letter (letter 48).

If you have a probationary permit and commit an offense that results in removal of at least 3 points, you are notified by registered letter (48N) with AR: titleContent.

If you have recovered points

You receive a single letter.

You reclaim points in the following 2 cases:

  • You have not committed any infringement punishable by a withdrawal of points during the reallocation period (letter 46)
  • You followed a road safety awareness course which enabled you to redeem points (letter 47)

If you've lost all your points

You receive a registered letter with AR: titleContent (letter 48 SI).

Your driver's license is no longer valid: you're no longer allowed to drive.

You must return your permit to your prefecture in the 10 free days upon receipt of the letter.

Who shall I contact

Warning  

If the letter sent in AR: titleContent was presented but not recovered within the 15-day period at the post office, the notification of the letter is considered to have been realized.
