中法駕駛證免試互認換領

China and France have signed an agreement allowing mutual recognition and exchanges of the two countries' driving licenses, the Ministry of Public Security said on Monday. The agreement was signed to facilitate people's travel by driving in the two countries, and further encourage bilateral trade cooperation and people-to-people exchanges, the MPS said.

公安部8月16日表示，為便利中法兩國人員在對方國家駕車出行，進一步促進兩國經貿合作和人員往來，中法兩國政府已簽署協(xié)議，實現(xiàn)雙方國家核發(fā)的駕駛證可免試互認換領。

Under the deal, which comes into effect on Tuesday, China and France will allow holders of valid driving licenses issued by either authority to drive directly or obtain driving permits without an additional test.

該協(xié)議于8月17日正式生效。根據(jù)協(xié)議，一方準許持有對方國家駕駛證的人員在其境內直接駕車或者免試換領駕駛證。

To be specific, people staying in the other country for less than a year will have their driving licenses recognized in the destination country, while those staying for more than a year can exchange their original licenses for local ones without separate tests.

對于臨時進入對方境內不超過一年的，雙方駕駛證實現(xiàn)互認。對于在對方國家居留超過一年的，雙方駕駛證實現(xiàn)免試互換。
