Key points in 30 seconds
- List organizations and contracts.
- Prepare the new address and evidence.
- Notify participants through the shared service.
Use the shared service
The Service Public tool sends changes to participating organizations. Check the recipient list and prepare identifiers. It cannot handle moving to or from abroad; contact each organization separately for international moves.

Check benefit and tax accounts
Verify CAF, Assurance Maladie, tax and France Travail accounts if relevant. CAF may require an additional application for the new home. Changing the address alone does not guarantee automatic transfer of housing assistance.
Common mistake
Assuming one notification covers everything.
Residence and vehicle documents
A shared notification does not automatically update foreign-national procedures. Check ANEF or your prefecture for your category. If you own a vehicle, separately check registration certificate updates; this differs from a driving licence.
Common mistake
Using the service for an international move.
Mail and contracts
Banks, insurers, employers, schools and suppliers may need direct notice. Postal forwarding is separate and does not update their records. Keep confirmations and monitor old contact details.
Common mistake
Confusing postal forwarding with record updates.
