China and France to Mutually Recognize Driver's Licenses
China and France just signed a new agreement to offer mutual recognition of each countries driver’s licenses. Going forward, driver’s licenses of Chinese nationals and French citizens will be recognized as valid in both France and China, for those who stay within the non-issuing country for less than one year. Drivers should have the original driver’s license along with a translated version with them as they drive.
Of course, the types of vehicles a driver is qualified for will be limited to what is approved in the issuing country. Those staying in the new country for over one year may apply for a new local driver’s license directly without sitting for any additional examination.
The new agreement is an important indicator of deepening public security reform in China. Previously, China has created reciprocity with Belgium and the United Arab Emirates. China is now actively seeking to cooperate with more countries to benefit the lives of all expatriates.
