I was going to update after Wednesday, but as you've asked.
I got a letter on Friday saying my licence was available at the Poitiers prefecture for collection
The lady at Montmorillon said I could phone them and get it delivered to her for collection, but I have to go to hospital on Wednesday at Poitiers so I though I would get it then. I also thought I could check it whilst there to make sure it was right.
I'll report back after I have it in my hand, but for the moment it seems you can get one without going through translations and conformation of vehicle you can drive. All you need do is go back to the lady in Montmorillon and ask what they want translated as it's a European licence and the categories are listed on the back, she makes a giant photo copies rubber stamps it and sends it back.
13 March I put it in at Montmorillon, 17 March they asked for translation and proof of categories, 8 June got letter it's ready.
*Tip to anyone reading this, when they ask for translation and proof of categories you can drive, tell them it's a European driving licence and has the little blue flag with gold stars and there is nothing to translate. Also tell them if they opened their eyes and turn the licence over the categories are on the back.
PS: This was for replacing a British Card type photo driving licence that runs out every ten years, I don't know how it would go with the old paper ones. But the lady at the Montmorillon office was very helpful
