Once your application has been approved by the Isère or Drôme Prefecture, a residence permit is being issued.
Each Prefecture has its own procedures for picking up your new permit.
The information below only applies to the following residence permits:
"Étudiant" or "Étudiant - Programme Mobilité"
"Talent - Chercheur" or "Scientifique-chercheur"
"Talent - Famille" (spouses of researchers only)
"Recherche d’Emploi ou Création d’Entreprise" or "APS Jeune diplômé"
"Stagiaire"
"Jeune au pair"
Please note
Nobody can pick up your card on your behalf, not even your spouse.
When can you pick up your card?
When you meet both of the following requirements:
You received a text message indicating that your residence card is ready to be picked-up, or you have obtained an “Attestation de décision favorable” more than four (4) weeks ago, or your "récépissé" more than eight (8) weeks ago.
Your current residence permit has expired (you cannot collect your new card if the previous one is still valid), unless you applied for a new status.
What documents do you need?
In order to retrieve your card, bring with you:
your passport
your current residence permit
your "attestation de décision favorable" or "récépissé"
an excise stamp ("timbre fiscal") purchased online or in a tobacco shop ("bureau de tabac"). The amount to pay depends on your status and appears on your "attestation de décision favorable".
