ANEF or prefecture?

Most applications go through the ANEF platform, where you track your file and download the extension certificate. The prefecture then invites you for fingerprints and card collection.

Common mistake

Applying late or after expiry.

When to renew

Apply within the last two months before your card expires. Being late can interrupt benefits and employment.

Common mistake

Unreadable or incomplete scans.

Cost

A tax stamp (timbre fiscal) is paid when the card is issued. Applying on ANEF is free — never pay intermediaries for appointments.

Common mistake

Paying intermediaries.

Common mistake

Inconsistent addresses.
