Military census (or citizens' census)
All young French people (boys and girls) who turn 16 must register. If you were born in France, you must register between your 16th birthday and the last day of the 3rd month following your birthday.
If you became French between the ages of 16 and 25, you must register within one month of acquiring French nationality.
(If you have missed the deadline, you can regularise your situation up to the age of 25. The procedure remains the same)
To do this, please go to the Mairie (the person concerned or one of their parents) with :
- Up-to-date family record book
- The child's valid National Identity Card or Passport
- Proof of address less than 3 months old
The Mairie will issue you with a census certificate. Please keep it in a safe place, as no duplicates will be issued.

- European citizens living in France can register on the supplementary electoral roll at their local town hall to vote in municipal and European elections.
