Working as a taxi driver in France
Driving a taxi is a regulated activity in France. You need a category B licence held for at least the legal minimum period, a clean criminal record, a medical check, the PSC1 first aid certificate and a pass in the taxi exam organised by the Chambres de métiers et de l'artisanat, which leads to the carte professionnelle for a given département. To work independently, you also need an autorisation de stationnement (the taxi licence plate) or to rent one. Continuous training is required to keep the card. Being a VTC driver is a separate status with its own exam. Search for « chauffeur de taxi », « conducteur de taxi », « taxi conventionné » or « chauffeur taxi salarié ».
