What is the difference between NEPH and the ePhoto code?

NEPH identifies the driving test registration file. The ePhoto code retrieves a digital photo and signature; it does not replace NEPH.

Is a digital photo-signature the only option?

Not always. Some routes offer a paper form when no digital photo-signature service is used. The option displayed in your online procedure takes precedence.

Should I pay again as soon as a code is refused?

No. First check the selected reason, field, entry and displayed message. A new photo is useful only when the issue actually concerns the photo-signature.

The diagrams explain the actions without reproducing government screens. Labels and required documents may vary; the official portal and the government page matching your case take precedence.

Procedure steps.

Follow the stated order and check each item on the official portal.

Choose the driving licence reason

Test registration, production after passing, renewal, exchange and changes of situation use different forms. Start with the exact reason on France Titres.

Choose the photo-signature method

The route may offer a digital photo-signature code or, depending on the case, a paper photo-signature form. Follow the option actually displayed.

Prepare the photo and signature

With the digital option, the identity photo and signature are linked to one code. Check the framing and sign clearly before finalising.

Enter the ePhoto code

Copy the code into the photo-signature field for the relevant application. The NEPH number, driving licence number and ePhoto reference are different items.

Submit and track the application

Keep the code and confirmation until filing is validated. Track production from the France Titres account used for the application.
