Services & pricing
Transparent per-file pricing. Government fees are always separate and always quoted to you upfront.
À la carte
Most people come to us for one specific thing that has gone wrong or gone quiet. These are the prices for that, no pack required.
FR : Prestations à l'unité. Les frais officiels de l'État sont toujours facturés à part.
French government fees are set by the state and paid by you directly. Since 1 May 2026: €350 in tax stamps for a first residence card, €250 for a renewal, €350 for a duplicate, €300 to validate a long-stay visa (VLS-TS) and €255 for a naturalisation application. Withdrawal Agreement (Brexit) cards are free. The civic exam (around €70) and the TCF or TEF language test are priced by each exam centre. We always show our fee and the state's fee separately.
Translation is not included. Translations are always at your cost. Our fees never include document translation. When a document needs a sworn translation, we tell you exactly which one and point you to a sworn translator, whom you pay directly.
FR : Les frais officiels sont fixés par l'État et réglés directement par le demandeur. Depuis le 1er mai 2026 : 350 € de timbres fiscaux pour une première carte de séjour, 250 € pour un renouvellement, 350 € pour un duplicata, 300 € pour valider un visa long séjour (VLS-TS) et 255 € pour une demande de naturalisation. Les cartes Accord de retrait (Brexit) sont gratuites. L'examen civique (environ 70 €) et le test de langue TCF ou TEF sont facturés par chaque centre. Nos honoraires et les frais de l'État sont toujours présentés séparément. Les traductions sont toujours à la charge du client. Nos honoraires n'incluent jamais la traduction de documents. Quand une traduction assermentée est nécessaire, nous vous indiquons précisément laquelle et vous orientons vers un traducteur assermenté, que vous réglez directement.
Why it matters
On a renewal, a complete file submitted on time gets you an official extension certificate that keeps you legally resident and, if your card allows it, keeps you working while the prefecture decides. A missing document or a late filing leaves you with a simple filing receipt, which does not allow you to work, and a late filing adds a €180 penalty. One overlooked page can cost you weeks and put your job at risk.
FR : Pour un renouvellement, un dossier complet déposé à temps vous donne une attestation officielle qui maintient votre séjour régulier et, si votre carte le permet, votre droit de travailler pendant l'instruction. Une pièce manquante ou un dépôt tardif ne vous laisse qu'un simple récépissé de dépôt, qui n'autorise pas à travailler, et un retard coûte 180 € de pénalité. Une seule page oubliée peut vous faire perdre des semaines et mettre votre emploi en jeu.
Before anything is submitted, we check every document against the prefecture's own checklist for your card type. If the prefecture asks for a document because of an oversight on our side, we handle it at no extra cost. We can't control how long the prefecture takes, but we make sure delays never come from your file.
FR : Notre garantie dossier vérifié. Avant tout dépôt, nous contrôlons chaque pièce selon la liste de la préfecture pour votre type de carte. Si la préfecture réclame un document à cause d'un oubli de notre part, nous le traitons sans frais supplémentaires. Nous ne maîtrisons pas les délais de la préfecture, mais nous faisons en sorte que le retard ne vienne jamais de votre dossier.
Six domains
First applications, renewals, ten-year card upgrades, ANEF blockages and prefecture appointments.
CPAM, Carte Vitale, mutuelle and CAF, including the three-month residency rule most people get wrong.
Account opening where other applicants get refused, plus insurance setup and the documents banks actually accept.
Tax declarations, fiscal representation and URSSAF registration for the self-employed.
Rental files, EDF, water, internet and home insurance, set up before you move rather than after.
Licence exchange, carte grise and imports. For US licences, eligibility depends on the issuing state, which we check first.
Before you book
No, and no one can include them. French government fees are set by the state and paid by you directly. Since 1 May 2026: €350 in tax stamps for a first residence card, €250 for a renewal, €350 for a duplicate, €300 to validate a long-stay visa (VLS-TS) and €255 for a naturalisation application. Withdrawal Agreement (Brexit) cards are free. The civic exam (around €70) and the TCF or TEF language test are priced by each exam centre. We always show our fee and the state's fee separately.
No. Translations are always at your cost. Our fees never include document translation. When a document needs a sworn translation, we tell you exactly which one and point you to a sworn translator, whom you pay directly.
Yes, everything on this page can be bought on its own. On the first call we tell you honestly which works out cheaper for your situation, the pack or the à la carte items, even when that means a smaller invoice for us.
We guarantee a complete and compliant file, built to be approved, and we only take on cases we believe we can see through. If the prefecture asks for a document because of an oversight on our side, we handle it at no extra cost. What we cannot control is the prefecture's own decision or its timescales, and anyone who promises you otherwise is not being straight with you.
The part we control, assembling and submitting a complete file, usually takes days rather than weeks once we have your documents. The prefecture's processing time is outside anyone's control and varies by office and by period. Starting a renewal two months before expiry is the legal minimum, not the sensible one.
No commitment
We assess your situation, tell you what genuinely applies to you, and recommend the right route.
