In Two Sevresthere has been a spectacular increase in requests for identity documents (passports and identity cards) of the order of 50% in one year.
Since the end of 2021, requests for and/or renewal of permits have experienced an unprecedented increase under the effect of the gradual release of the pandemic. Added to this is the seasonal increase in requests for securities linked to the approach of the summertime and the exam period.
The issuance of identity documents, national identity card and passport, is a mission whose implementation is shared by the municipalities in charge of registering the documents using a collection device (DR) and the services of the Ministry of the Interior which handle the examination of applications and the production of titles.
Up to two months of waiting
A Parthenay for example, requests are exploding and it takes approximately two months of waiting to get an appointment. Then you have to six to eight weeksines to be able to pick up his ID at the town hall.
More authorized municipalities
In order to remedy this situation, as part of the emergency plan initiated by the government, three municipalities will receive an additional DR within a month: Niort, Chauray and Parthenay.
This will bring the number of DRs* to 22. Other municipalities should also receive new equipment during the second wave of deployment.
In addition, the prefecture is already making available to municipalities experiencing the greatest demand a DR mobile to help reduce the waiting times.
Municipalities already equipped
Airvault, Bressuire, Brioux sur Boutonne, Cerizay, Champdeniers Saint Denis, Chauray, Coulonges sur l’Autize, Mauléon, Mauzé sur le Mignon, Melle, Montcoutant, Niort on the Hôtel de Ville site and on the Clou Bouchet site, Parthenay, Saint Maixent l’Ecole, Sauze Vaussais and Thouars.

Online pre-request
To reduce waiting times, the prefecture also gives some advice:
- to make a pre-application online from the website of the National Agency for Secure Documents (ANTS): https://passeport.ants.gouv.fr/demarches-en-ligne ; which makes it possible to halve the time spent at the counter.
- to present yourself with a complete file: proof of residence and photo of less than 6 months and in conformity.
- not to hesitate to solicit other communities other than the commune of residence equipped with a DR and which could propose an appointment as soon as possible.
On the other hand, it is recalled:
- that for the passage of an examination or a competition, it can be presented an identity document expired for less than 5 years.
- that it is pointless to replace a title which has not yet expired;
- that it is strongly advised not to make multiple appointments to avoid freezing appointment slots.
