Two official free services
Mes Points Permis via FranceConnect
Launched in 2020, the mespoints.permisdeconduire.gouv.fr portal has become the 2026 reference. It works with FranceConnect (impots.gouv, Ameli, La Poste). Account created in 2 minutes, 10-year offence history.
Télépoints (access with confidential code)
Older portal still active in 2026. Requires your licence number and a confidential code requested at the prefecture. Heavier to set up but useful if you do not have FranceConnect yet.
Steps to check your balance
Via FranceConnect
1. Go to mespoints.permisdeconduire.gouv.fr. 2. Click "Log in with FranceConnect". 3. Choose a service (e.g. impots.gouv). 4. Validate: your balance shows instantly.
Via Télépoints
1. Request your Télépoints code at the prefecture (sent by mail within 15 days). 2. Log in at telepoints.info with your licence number and code. 3. Balance displayed.
Warning: delay between offence and deduction
Points are deducted only after fine payment or final conviction. Count 30–60 days between the offence and the online update. During that period, your displayed balance is still the old one.
What if the balance is wrong?
Check offence details
Click "History" to see each offence. If a line is unknown (different driver, duplicate, wrong date), you can contest via the ANTS portal within 45 days.
Contact the national licence service
If doubt persists, write to the SNPC (Service national des permis de conduire) via the site's contact form. Official reply within 3–6 weeks.
How many points do you recover over time?
After a contravention without repeat, you automatically recover your points after 2 years (for 1 point), 3 years (for 2–5 points) or 10 years (for 6 points). Recovery courses speed up the process.
A reminder: avoid the probationary trap
In the first 3 years, you start at 6 points and gain 2 per offence-free year. A 30–40 km/h speeding (3 points) can already threaten your licence. Check after every flash, and take a course as soon as 4 points are lost.
