Préfecture is the name given to the administrative body of a region (département) and is the capital city of that region. The préfecture is in charge of the delivery of driving licences, passports, identity cards, car registration documents and residency permits.

Each dept also has a sub-prefecture (sous-préfecture) able to carry out many (but not all) administrative activities.
