Ask for the exact room, its format and the secure channel; keep the request and proof of transmission.
Overall orientationNo response
Overall orientation: check the channel and keep the history, without inferring that a silence is a decision.
Make a factual relaunch, ask for confirmation of registration and keep the proof. Check the deadlines for your notification.
Overall orientationRefusal
Overall direction: read the full decision and do not replace a qualified opinion with a universal model.
Keep the date of notification, identify channels and deadlines, and request a qualified opinion if rights or time limits are involved.
Overall orientationThe demand is not clear
General orientation: do not guess the requirements and do not transmit original or unnecessary data without foundation.
Ask for a written explanation, the exact list of parts and the channel of transmission; keep the answer with the exchanges.

Step 1
Attestation of accommodation: rooms to be reached and acceptance
An accommodation certificate can be used as proof of residence when a person is housed free of charge with a third party. It is generally sufficient only with the identity of the host and proof of his or her home, according to the requirements of the organization.

After the keys are handed over: insurance, electricity, water and internet
On the day the keys are handed over, record the condition of the housing and meter readings, check that the home insurance already takes effect, and then open or transfer the electricity and gas contracts. Ask the lessor or trustee if water and heating are included in the charges, test the internet eligibility and keep the first invoices as proof of domicile.

Sickness Insurance: Open its CPAM rights and get the Vitale Card
Universal health protection (PUMa) opens up individual rights to people who work in or reside in France on a stable and regular basis. The first affiliation depends on the status: the general case passes through the CPAM with form S1106, while foreign students use a dedicated portal. The Vital Card is ordered after affiliation and definitive identification; the period varies according to the file.
