French Nationality Applications

Applying for French nationality isn’t just about ticking boxes - it’s about understanding the system, presenting a strong dossier, and knowing which route is right for you. At Normandy Consultancy, I offer comprehensive, hands-on support for all pathways, including applications through the Consulat de France and judicial appeals (appel judiciaire) when necessary.

📑 Dossier Preparation & Submission

If your application is refused, I can:

• Support you through the Tribunal Administratif process with clarity and calm

🗣️ Interview Coaching & Follow-Up

🚗 Exchanging Your Foreign Driving Licence in France: Done Right, Without the Stress

Swapping your UK or other foreign driving licence for a French one isn’t just a formality - it’s a process that can quickly become a bureaucratic headache. The ANTS portal (Agence Nationale des Titres Sécurisés) is notoriously tricky to navigate, and missing even one document can delay your application by months.

At Normandy Consultancy, I take the stress out of the process by offering end-to-end support that goes far beyond basic guidance.

🛠️ What I Do for You:

• Account Setup & Portal Navigation: I help you create your ANTS account, upload documents correctly, and avoid common technical pitfalls.

• Document Preparation & Translation: I ensure your licence, proof of residence, ID, and supporting documents are correctly formatted, translated (if needed), and compliant with French standards.

• Application Submission: I walk you through the submission process or handle it on your behalf, depending on your preference.

• Follow-Up & Troubleshooting: If your application stalls, I chase it up. I liaise with the relevant authorities, help resolve issues, and keep you informed every step of the way.

• Lost Licence or Expired UK Licence? I assist with alternative documentation and help explain your situation to the French authorities to avoid rejection.

Whether you’re exchanging a UK licence post-Brexit or converting a licence from another EU or non-EU country, I make sure your application is complete, compliant, and moving forward.

🚫 What We Don’t Do

We’re not accountants - and we don’t offer financial management or record curation services. Our focus is on administrative clarity, not bookkeeping.

🗣️ Why Choose Normandy Consultancy?

Because we understand the system, speak the language, and know how to get things done. We work with clients who are ready to collaborate, communicate clearly, and provide the necessary documents. When you do your part, we can do ours - efficiently and effectively.
