The 1st-attempt B licence pass rate is 67.1% in department 35 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. For the Highway Code, the actual result also depends on the training plan and the assigned exam centre.

For administrative procedures linked to the Highway Code, candidates in Vitré deal mainly with the Prefecture of Rennes and with the ANTS portal for digital requests. Expected processing times depend on the department workload; keep all original documents on hand and anticipate the validity of your health check-ups when required.
