Access to rights and administrative procedures

The advisors at France Services centres help users complete their administrative procedures linked to 12 national partners: CAF, CPAM, CARSAT, Chèque énergie, Finances publiques, France Rénov’, France Titres, France Travail, La Poste, Urssaf, MSA, and Point Justice.

They can help your employee resolve complex situations by liaising with a contact person within these partner networks, and can also support them in using digital tools (creating an email address, scanning documents needed for administrative applications, etc.).

You can find the list of France Servives centres in Aube.

Public writer services are intended to help users with their administrative procedures, understand official documents, and draft administrative correspondence, enabling them to become more independent in accessing their rights.

In the Aube department, you can meet a public writer during consultation sessions organised by the Departmental Council for Access to Law (CDAD):

The Solidarity Centers (Maisons des solidarités) across the department are local support services where your employee can receive assistance with employment, housing, and social welfare matters.

You can find the contact details of the Solidarity Centers on the Aube Departmental Council's website.

The Municipal Social Action Center (CCAS) is a public institution of the municipality, chaired by the mayor. It provides information, guidance, and assistance with applications for statutory social assistance, and implements local initiatives (emergency aid, food assistance, registered address services) to support residents in need. 

When there is no CCAS, particularly in municipalities with fewer than 1,500 residents, you should contact the town hall directly or the intermunicipal authority if it has an Intermunicipal Social Action Center (CIAS).

Social centres and community life centres are local services for families and residents. They help strengthen social cohesion by empowering families and local communities and facilitating access to rights and public services. For example, they may offer French language and integration workshops.

You can find the list and contact details of the social centres and community life centres in Aube.

The “Opening Schools to Parents for Children's Success” initiative aims to promote the integration of parents of newly arrived students by offering free workshops in elementary, middle, and high schools on learning French, how the school system works, and republican values, in order to better support their children's education.

Mobility

A driver’s license issued in a country outside the European Union is valid for one year starting from:

  • The start date of the first residence permit in France
  • The date the long-stay visa was validated through the Digital Administration for Foreigners in France (Anef).
  • Before the end of this one-year period, the holder must exchange their driver’s license to continue driving. The application is submitted online via the France-Titres website.

If the employee has not exchanged their license within the year, they will have to retake the written and driving tests.

 Some licenses obtained abroad cannot be exchanged for a French license and require the holder to retake the driving test in France.

Check if a non-European driver’s license is exchangeable for a French license on the Service-Public website. 

Here are the steps your employee must follow to obtain a driving licence in France. These steps are the same for French nationals:

  1. Register on the France‑Titres website and obtain their NEPH number.
  2. They must then study the highway code, which is required for the theoretical exam. The exam fee is €30. To find where to register for the highway code exam, visit the Service‑Public website.
  3. Take driving lessons with a driving school and pass the practical exam, or register as an independent candidate.
  4. Download the driving test certificate (CEPC) if they pass the exam.

Accomodation

To obtain social housing, the applicant must submit an online request on Demande-logement-social.fr. A unique departmental registration number is then assigned.
The housing applicant must be over 18 years old (or legally emancipated) and have lawful residence status in France.

Social housing is allocated based on income conditions (the reference taxable income from year N‑2 must not exceed certain ceilings set by decree). The N‑2 tax notice is a mandatory document. For particular situations involving a recent arrival in France, a decree specifies the documents to be provided when no tax notice is available (see useful links at the bottom of the page).
Some individuals, depending on their situation, are given priority for accessing social housing (Article L 441‑1 of the French Construction and Housing Code).

If you are a private-sector company (non‑agricultural) with 10 employees or more, Action Logement can support your employee in several ways:

These residences offer furnished or unfurnished accommodation and shared common areas for people aged 16 to 25 (and up to 30 in some cases) who are employed or in the process of social and professional integration.

The Family Allowance Fund (CAF) offers a tool to estimate the benefits your employee may be eligible for.

Health

Your employee must provide you with a provisional or permanent social security number.
If they do not have one, they must submit a social security registration application.
They will need to provide proof of having been present in France for more than three months.

The formation‑civique website provides information sheets on healthcare access for foreign nationals.

Childcare

The Monenfant.fr website allows your employee to search for childcare options and to calculate childcare costs and the financial assistance they may be eligible for.

They can receive support in their search and administrative procedures from the CAF or one of its partner organisations.
