Documents by status

Preparatory list, not a mandatory universal list. Choose the basis and check first request/renewal on ANEF and your prefecture.

ANEF

Avoid: to present a conditional play as mandatory for all.

ANEF monitoring

Draft not sent: check the parts and drop by the deadline.

Tags may vary: this decoder is not connected to ANEF. Document full filing, messages and title validity. For many requests, four months of silence is implied rejection, with exceptions. Check time limits and appeals by procedure; do not systematically wait four months if your rights are threatened.

Ex gratia/hierarchical and litigation remedies follow separate deadlines. The relevant measures require urgency and usefulness, particularly for access to an appointment; it does not guarantee a title and cannot impede a decision. A refusal may require another remedy: consult a lawyer.

ANEF: Certificates · Referenced useful measures

To be avoided: to confuse proof of deposit with the right to work.

See you in prefecture

  1. Check competent prefecture and procedure: ANEF or appointment.
  2. Keep catches dated over several days, requests and answers. Don't buy slots.
  3. Write to the prefecture and the Citizen Contact Centre, ask for an alternative route. Infringement of rights: Defender of rights; emergency: lawyer. The referral shall not suspend the time limit for appeal.

Defender of rights

Avoid: leave personal data on a shared computer.

Periods of stay and naturalisation

Five years is a general benchmark for naturalisation by decree and long-term EU resident, not a guarantee. Not all periods and statutes are eligible; current student status is excluded from this procedure. You indicate the confirmed start of the qualifying period; studies are not counted automatically. The National Resident Card follows other foundations. Reductions/dispenses, resources, integration and continuity are to be verified. The calculation does not deal with absences.

Long-term EU resident · CESEDA L426-18 · Naturalisation

Avoid: Confound five-year mark and automatic right.

AURA moving budget

Changeable plan, not a market quotation. Assumptions of departure from October 2026: small accommodation; replace them with your rent, network rate and insurance quote.

Avoid: count the deposit as a monthly charge; no CAF help is presumed.

Deposit of security

Audit of the lease

Lyon/Villeurbanne: official simulator by address. Grenoble: since 20 January 2025 on specific sectors, including part of Grenoble, not the entire metropolis. Use the reference rent increased according to address, date, furniture, time and rooms.

Lyon / Villeurbanne · Grenoble · Prohibited clauses

Arithmetic result from the increased input, without automatic legal verdict. Avoid: use the reference instead of the supplement.

State of play with photos

Draft to be attached to a statement signed by the parties. Photos and notes are only saved in IndexedDB after "Save". Export a backup: cleaning, private browsing or device change may lose data.

Entry
Stay
Chamber
Kitchen
Bathroom

Avoid: sign without noting defects or confuse local draft with signed statement.

State of play

CV Creator

French CV: job title, relevant experience in antéchronological order, results, training, skills and languages. Photo, age, family status and nationality are not compulsory. Write the content in French.

To avoid: declare an equivalence without foundation or use the contact information of others.
Civic training 2026
Warm up, not a full formal exam. Since 2026, the civic examination of naturalization differs from the interview of assimilation. Official QCM: 40 questions, 45 minutes, 80 threshold %; separate residence and naturalization records and planned exemptions.
What is the motto of the Republic?
What does secularism mean?
Who votes the laws?
Are women and men equal before the law?
Is education compulsory from 3 to 16 years?
Full centre and maintenance · Official media ↗
Avoid: Confound this score with an official attestation.
Mutual criteria
    Compare annual contributions, ceilings, shortfalls, exclusions and reimbursements in euros. "100% BR" does not mean 100% of the invoice. Check employer and CSS contracts before signing up.
    CSS 的
    Avoid: Compare a percentage without its base and ceilings.
    Consistency of name
    Use the current passport for new documents. The proposed transliteration is indicative, neither universal nor certified translation. Ask the issuer for a correction and keep the evidence of the old name.
    Avoid: replace the passport with an automatic transliteration.
    Decoder of acronyms
    Full Glossary
    To avoid: to confuse definition of aid with eligibility.
