Change driving school with ease
File Transfer
Wishing to switch driving schools mid-course? File transfer allows you to recover your validated driving hours and certifications and have them recognised by your new driving school. The procedure is regulated - you do not lose your validated theory (passed code) or driving hours already completed.

Request from old school
Request your training file and the return of your logbook.

New school enrolment
Bring your complete file. Your NEPH number is reused.
03
Continuation assessment
The new driving school assesses your level to adapt the remainder of your training.

- Recovery of your training file
- NEPH transfer to the new driving school
- Driving assessment at the new school
Prerequisites
- Be enrolled at a driving school
- Have your NEPH number
Frequently asked questions
Can I always change driving school mid-course?
Yes, there is no obligation to stay at the same driving school. Your NEPH file belongs to you and can be transferred at any time.
Can my old driving school refuse to return my file?
No. Under the Hamon law, driving schools are legally obliged to return your training file on simple request, free of charge. If they refuse, you can report the practice to the DGCCRF.
Are my completed driving hours transferred?
Hours validated in your logbook are recognised by the new driving school. However, a competency assessment at the new school is often carried out to evaluate your actual level, regardless of the number of hours recorded.
