Driving licence convertion: attestation letter from issuing country

Hello, I wonder what is the attestation letter from issuing country, requested to get a mauritian converted driving licence. I don't have such document, I only have my french driving licence. Is this attestation letter mandatory? If yes, how to get it ? Thanks


Bonjour, je souhaitais convertir mon permis de conduire français en permis mauricien, afin d'etre en règle sur la route, car je reste un long moment ici. Mais il est indiqué dans la liste de documents demandés qu'il faut une lettre  d'attestation provenant du pays emetteur. Je ne n'ai ce genre de lettre, j'ai uniquement mon permis. Cette attestation est elle vraiment obligatoire pour convertir le permis de conduire? Si oui comment on obtient cette attestation en France?

Merci !

@freeking2k Hi, they have only asked for this document :(

Anyone have an answer if you are from South Africa? Re driving license.

@yeti1952 Where can this be downloaded please?

Dovrebbe essere sufficiente richiedere la patente internazionale al tuo paese

Hi, I found the following information for South Africans on another thread in this forum..



Kindly note that we are experiencing high volumes of requests for Driving Licence Confirmation Letters.

Attestation has to be done in the country of origin of your Driving Licence i.e. UK for mine, It has to be verfied by an attorney or lawyer to be formerly apostles.  For your information the British Embassy told me that they are not allowed by law to apostile documents.
