Why does the lead time vary?
Processing time may depend on the completeness of the file, requests for additional documents and the competent department. As the official sheet consulted does not announce a guaranteed national deadline, avoid planning a first race for a date based on a commercial estimate.
Important : do not accept paid transportation while waiting for the card. Entreprendre Public Service indicates that the professional card and registration with REVTC are necessary to carry out the activity.
