Application Process
To apply you must file a dossier with the prefecture or consulate in your area. Prepare your passport, residence permit, birth certificate, proof of residence, tax returns, work contracts and payslips, as well as language certificates and documents showing your integration into French society.
You will complete a Cerfa form and pay a fiscal stamp of €55. An interview will assess your knowledge of French history, culture and values and confirm your French language ability. After submission your application is reviewed by the Ministry of the Interior. The process can take between one and two years. Once approved you will receive a decree of naturalisation and may attend a citizenship ceremony.
