Services & pricing
Transparent per-file pricing. Government fees are always separate and always quoted to you upfront.
À la carte
Most people come to us for one specific thing that has gone wrong or gone quiet. These are the prices for that, no pack required.
FR : Prestations à l'unité. Les frais officiels de l'État sont toujours facturés à part.
French government fees are set by the state and paid by you directly. As a guide for 2026: around €350 for the stamp on a first multi-year card, around €300 to validate a long-stay visa, around €70 for the civic exam, and €100 to €210 for a TCF or TEF language test. We quote these separately so you always know what is our fee and what is the state's.
Translation is included, up to a point. Every file includes the translation of one document up to two pages, at no extra charge. Anything beyond that is at your cost, and we always tell you what it will be before a single page is translated.

Before you book
No, and no one can include them. They are set by the state and paid by you directly. As a guide for 2026: around €350 for the stamp on a first multi-year card, around €300 to validate a long-stay visa, around €70 for the civic exam, and €100 to €210 for a TCF or TEF language test depending on the centre. We always show our fee and the state fee separately.
Each file includes the translation of one document of up to two pages. Beyond that, additional pages are charged to you, and we tell you the cost before anything is translated. Nothing is translated without your agreement.
Yes, everything on this page can be bought on its own. On the first call we tell you honestly which works out cheaper for your situation, the pack or the à la carte items, even when that means a smaller invoice for us.
We guarantee a complete and compliant file, built to be approved, and we only take on cases we believe we can see through. What we cannot control is the prefecture's own decision or its timescales, and anyone who promises you otherwise is not being straight with you.
The part we control, assembling and submitting a complete file, usually takes days rather than weeks once we have your documents. The prefecture's processing time is outside anyone's control and varies by office and by period. Starting a renewal two months before expiry is the legal minimum, not the sensible one.
No commitment
We assess your situation, tell you what genuinely applies to you, and recommend the right route.
