About Us

ANTS is here to help you with all your vehicle registration, driving licence, and identity document needs.

France Titres - The Agence Nationale des Titres Sécurisés (French National Security Agency, ANTS) is a public administrative body that falls under the French Ministry of the Interior.

 

Since its creation by decree n°2007-240 of February 22, 2007, the Agency's missions have been clarified and extended by decree n°2024-146 of February 26, 2024.

 

To meet these challenges, ANTS has set up two branches: 

  • The Citizen Contact Centre at its historic headquarters in Charleville-Mézières, where more than 160 staffers advise and guide users through the online process 
  • The Paris branch, where the systems governing the document-issuing process are created and maintained.
