Who this guide is for
Section actions
- Holders of an expired VLS-TS or residence card
- Persons who renew the same ground of residence
- Persons whose situation has changed and who may need to request a change of status rather than a simple renewal
To be prepared in advance
Section actions
- Passport, visa or current title and copies of relevant pages
- Recent home justification
- Proofs that correspond exactly to the reason for the title: activity, resources, studies, family, insurance or project as appropriate
- E-photo and civil status documents if requested by the procedure
- Evidence of continuity since the previous issue
Step-by-step procedure
Section actions
- 1Identify the procedure corresponding to the exact wording of your title. Some requests go through ANEF, others via a teleservice or a prefecture-specific procedure.
- 2Check the deposit window indicated for your category. Do not automatically transpose the deadline for another title and do not wait for the last days.
- 3File a complete folder and download the deposit confirmation immediately. This confirmation alone is not necessarily a provisional residence document and does not always prove a right to work.
- 4Follow the file and respond quickly to requests for additional documents. Download any certificate of extension of investigation or decision made available.
- 5Check the provisional document to see if it maintains the right to stay, work and cross-border. These effects vary according to the previous title, the application and the document issued.
- 6Only purchase the tax stamp at the amount and time indicated by the administration, often when the card is manufactured or delivered.
Common mistakes
Section actions
- To believe that a simple certificate of deposit automatically extends the title and the right to work
- Use a generic list of rooms instead of the list specific to the type of residence
- Drop out of the expected window without keeping proof of teleservice malfunction
- Leave France with a provisional document without checking the conditions of return
- Pay a generic amount of tax before official notification

Important remark
The filing window, the documents, the fee and the effects of the provisional document depend on the title requested and your situation. Check your prefecture's official form and instructions.
