Settle into Paris, paperwork-free.
French bureaucracy is famously complex. Bank accounts, health insurance, taxes, utilities... We handle the paperwork so you can focus on enjoying your new life in Paris.
The reality
Why French admin is so hard for expats
You've secured your apartment. Now comes the real challenge: navigating one of the world's most complex bureaucratic systems.
Everything depends on everything
Need a bank account? You'll need an address. Need to register for health insurance? You'll need a bank account. The dependencies are endless and circular.
French-only systems
CPAM, CAF, impots, ANTS — most government portals are entirely in French with little to no English support. One wrong click can delay your application by weeks.
Weeks of waiting
Carte Vitale takes 6-8 weeks. CAF processing can take months. Tax registration requires patience. Without proper follow-up, applications get lost.
Document overload
Certified translations, apostilles, specific photo formats, RIBs, attestations — each agency has different requirements and nothing is standardized.
Our services
Everything you need to settle in
From opening a bank account to setting up your utilities, we guide you through every administrative step.
Banking setup
Your finances, sorted
We help you open a French bank account at expat-friendly banks like BNP Paribas or Credit Agricole, including document preparation and appointment scheduling.
Health insurance
Assurance Maladie, handled
We guide you through CPAM registration, help you apply for your Carte Vitale, and choose a mutuelle that fits your needs.
CAF registration
Benefits & housing aid
Access family benefits and housing assistance (APL). We help you create your CAF account, understand your quotient familial, and apply for the right allocations.
Tax registration
French taxes, demystified
Get your numero fiscal (French tax ID) and set up your impots.gouv.fr account. We explain your tax obligations and help with your first declaration.
Driver's license
Exchange your license
Exchange your foreign license for a French permis de conduire through the ANTS platform. We ensure you meet deadlines and avoid retaking the driving test.
Utility setup
Home-ready from day one
Get electricity, gas, water, and internet connected. We handle provider selection, contract setup, and meter activation so your home is ready from day one.
How it works
Your path to being settled
A clear, step-by-step process that turns months of bureaucracy into weeks.
Consultation
We assess your situation, timeline, and which services you need most urgently. Every expat's path is different — we create a plan tailored to yours.
Document preparation
We prepare your dossiers, gather required documents, and handle translations. Every form is filled in correctly the first time.
Applications
We submit applications, schedule appointments, and navigate French portals on your behalf. No more deciphering government websites in French.
Follow-up
We track progress, respond to requests, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. In France, applications that aren't followed up tend to disappear.
