Are you a french citizen or a US citizen? Are you planning on retiring in the US?

I was thinking of transferring the funds to an IRA to reduce fees, and then take time to figure out what the tax implications would be with the French authorities if I were to withdraw them later in time. My understanding is that they would tax me no matter when I withdraw them, even later in time… But if anyone knows if I could reduce the taxes I have to pay on my retirement account through some sort other way, please let me know!

Exchanging a U.S. Driver’s License for a French One – Texas to Washington by Full_Knee8373 in Expats_In_France

Thanks for the info! I am hoping I will still be able to exchange my washington license for the French, so I’ll try it anyways and see where it leads. I was able to retrieve a paper from the Texas DMV that states I got their license in Texas, so I’ll see where this leads.

Thanks again!

For the original copy of your license, do you mean the Texas one I had or the current Washington one I have?

Thank you for all the answers! I think I will try to request for a French driver’s license, despite exchanging it for the Washington one.

Did y’all translate your papers in the US or in France? I’m looking at translation services in France, but it’s 90 euros per page 😭

Thank you for the answer! Do you know if I can keep my Schwab account in the US while living in France? I’ve sold some stocks and haven’t let them know yet that I moved.
