The temporary certificate of right to drive is accessible after having made a declaration of loss or theft on the official France Titles website. The process costs 25 euros and is done entirely online.
Once the declaration has been recorded and the request validated, the motorist can download this precious temporary document of his driving license. This certificate has the same value as the driving license examination certificate (CEPC), underlines the media.
This certificate constitutes an official pass to continue to travel legally. Subject to not being in a situation of suspension or withdrawal of license.
