In reply to James FR:
> Luckily I changed my driving licence years ago, I just gave them my UK licence and got it "converted" to a French one - it's the old paper format that looks like something from the 1970s and falls apart after a few years.
ANTS were returninig applications unless licences had expired because they were getting overwhelmed with applications from Brits pre-Brexit so I wasn't able to do it early.
> It did cause me problems once at a car rental place as the date of issue had been copied from my UK licence and was before my 18th birthday, which their computer wouldn't accept.
I have the same issue with car insurance as they never accept a licence issue date before your 18th birthday.
> 10 years for the titre de séjour sounds like a good deal, but I don't regret going down the (very long) citizenship route, mainly because it means I can now vote!
I don't think you can apply for the 10 year TdS any more but since it's auto-renewable (without any obligations to prove residency or earnings) I figured it was as good as citizenship in the short term (will have been in France 10 years come this December).
I'm going down the citizenship since we're properly established here, and every day have less and less desire to ever go back and live in the UK here, and it seems like the natural thing to do. Of course having an EU passport again will be a big bonus.
