Step-by-step procedure
Section actions
- 1See the list of the procedure: accepted documents and their seniority vary between ANEF, ANTS, bank, CAF or other organizations.
- 2Have the certificate written and signed by the person legally occupying the dwelling. It must indicate the identity of the two persons, the full address and the start date of the free accommodation.
- 3Attach the host's identity and proof of identity to the host's name: energy or water bill, tax notice, release or housing document as accepted by the organization.
- 4Check the consistency of names, addresses and dates. If the host has just moved or the proof is too old, provide a more recent room or ask the organization for the accepted alternative.
- 5Scan each piece separately and legibly for a teleprocedure. Keep the originals and update the folder on a new application.
