Your correspondence with the administration

In your relations with the administration, the only means of communication is paper. Please, send your letters registered with signed receipt. It costs a bit more but it is the only way not to be told that your letters have not been received.

Write at the top and on the left of your letter your name, first name (s), address, possibly your date and place of birth. At the beginning of the text, please, indicate clearly the object of your mail and, if need be, the references of your file. Please, do not forget to date and to sign.

Please, enclose to your all your letters all the documentary evidence which are required and those relative to your specific situation and that may turn out useful in your argumentation. Please, never send original documents (diplomas, identity cards…) by mail except those expressly required and other copies of which you can easily obtain.
