Foreign License in Dieppe

With its 28,496 inhabitants reported by INSEE, Dieppe is a small town located in department 76 (Normandie). Getting your Foreign License here requires understanding local road-network particularities and knowing which funding schemes are available to candidates in the department.

Dieppe (76), in Normandy, sits in a rural and coastal region, structured around the Seine and Orne valleys. Connections combine the A13/A28/A29 motorways, the toll-free A84/N174 expressways and a dense, winding departmental network. The Normandy and Tancarville bridges are sensitive to crosswinds, requiring extra care when crossing. In a small town like Dieppe, driving alternates between town centre, residential zones and access to departmental axes. Entry roundabouts and 30 km/h zones are the main points of attention.

For the practical Foreign License test, department 76 shows an average waiting time of about 63 days (national average) between registration and exam date. Sessions take place in the centres designated by the Prefecture of Rouen, and the national RdvPermis platform progressively manages slot allocation.

In parallel, the highway code theoretical test (ETG) can be taken with several state-approved operators. La Poste, one of the most widespread, offers an official search tool allowing candidates to book a session close to home.

The 1st-attempt B licence pass rate is 61.9% in department 76 according to data published by the ONISR. This rate is higher than the national average of 58.0%, a favourable indicator for preparation conditions in the department.
