Applying for French citizenship includes two main routes: by déclaration and by décret. The déclaration route is for those with French ties, while décret requires proof of residency and other conditions. Typical processing times range from 18 months to two years, largely determined by the local préfectures. In 2023, an online application platform was launched for décret applicants, improving efficiency. However, those applying through marriage or family ties still use a traditional paper-based system.
The timeline for applying for French citizenship can vary from 18 months to two years, influenced by the application type and local préfecture efficiency.
Applications through déclaration are generally faster, while those via décret typically take longer and involve additional documentation regarding residency.
In 2023, the French government introduced an online platform to streamline the application process for décret applicants, enhancing efficiency.
Local préfecture speeds vary greatly, impacting the processing time significantly; some regions are notably quicker than others in handling citizenship applications.
