How to register with French healthcare

Registration usually starts with Assurance Maladie, then you receive a social security number and later a Carte Vitale.

01

Register with CPAM

Students, employees, and residents may have different forms and evidence, but proof of identity and address are common.

02

Choose mutuelle

A mutuelle is complementary insurance. Compare coverage for dental, optical, hospitalization, and waiting periods.
