Loss or theft of residence permit or residence card
Declaration of loss or theft, application for replacement, acknowledgement of receipt: we prepare your file with you and support you at every stage.
The stake
Your residence permit justifies your right to stay and your everyday rights: work, bank, housing, travel, checks. In the event of loss or theft, you must declare it quickly, initiate a replacement request and have a supporting document in the meantime. A late declaration or an incomplete file, and the processing times are needlessly prolonged.
Our support
USEFUL MARKER
The course of action depends on your situation. The most common cases are:
Declaration at the police station or gendarmerie, then request for a duplicate.
Declaration of loss, most often with the prefecture at the time of application.
On-site declaration, then steps with the French consulate for your return.
As a rule, the replacement title retains the expiry date of the old one.
A renewal is often more suitable than a duplicate. We will check with you.
A receipt can be given to you: it justifies your situation while the duplicate is being prepared.
Damaged or illegible card: the procedure is similar to that for a duplicate.
The running order
From declaration to submission of your application, a clear path.
Let's take stock of your situation.
The declaration of loss or theft and the precise list of your documents.
Preparation, verification and compliance.
Up to the prefecture, and up to your new title.
