PRÉFECTURE DE LA LOIRE

The Prefecture of the Loire is in charge of State services in the department. Among its missions, it ensures the protection and civil security, organizes elections, controls the legality of local authorities' acts, manages residence permits or issues identity documents. The website is regularly updated. In particular, you will find information on peak hours and waiting times. It should be noted that since the end of 2017, the reception desk of the car registration and driving licence service has been abolished, and the procedures are carried out online. It is better to plan your travel, as attendance is high and waiting times can be long.
