Préfecture appointments: patience, proof and no paid 'fixers' 🏢
Getting a rendez-vous at the préfecture is a classic source of stress in France. Many procedures are now online (ANEF), but some steps still need an appointment, for example to collect your card or for the naturalisation interview. What people recommend: · Always use your préfecture's official website or the ANEF. Official procedures do not require paying an intermediary for a slot. · Be wary of sites or people selling appointments. Fees you pay to the State are paid with a timbre fiscal, which you can buy on the official timbres.impots.gouv.fr site. · When you get a slot, bring originals and copies of everything on the list, plus your convocation. · Keep a simple file with dates: when you applied, what you received, whom you contacted. It helps if you need to follow up. · Arrive early; queues and security checks take time. For naturalisation, the fee is a 255 euro timbre fiscal, and the application is made online. If you are stuck for a long time, associations that help foreigners with procedures can advise for free.
