Préfecture - Service départemental Versailles

The term speaks for itself: the prefecture is the building where headquarters and works the prefect! The prefect supervises all the boroughs of the department, which are themselves led by a sub-prefect sitting in the sub-prefecture of the borough. Versailles Prefecture has several missions:

It issues acts of identity, passports, grey cards and driving licences.

It deals with the management of residence permits for étangers

It controls the legality of the acts of local authorities

It deals with the organisation of elections, etc.

You often need to be patient and get up early to be the first served and the first in queues! A good book will not be too and above all, before queuing up, find out about the site of the prefecture to be on the way to having all the papers and documents necessary for your request, so as to avoid connaîsstre the joys of waiting!
