BEFORE YOU START
Do you have
any questions?
In France, are corrections completed in 2–4 weeks?+
The 2–4 weeks are an estimate for preparing applications after complete documents are received and the quotation is accepted. Responses and completion then depend on the organisations and may take several months.
Are requests made through an account?+
Yes. Create an account or sign in to start requests, upload documents and follow progress. If the agency already created your record, you will receive a personal activation link.
How much does the service cost?+
After assessment, you receive guidance, the required document list and a quotation. Work starts only after you accept the terms.
How will I know which documents are missing?+
Your account shows requested, submitted and approved documents. Email notifications prompt you to check updates in your account.
Can I have more than one request?+
Yes. You can follow several requests in one account, with documents, messages and a quotation for each case.
