Delay in new website for French residency card

Residency card website - The launch of the website for Britons to register for their French residency card has been delayed. French officials have confirmed the brief delay to the site which was expected to open on Thursday 15th October. It is now reported to be postponed until Monday 19th October. 

A spokesperson has said that the reasons were Covid-19-related and not political. 

The website plans to simplify online applications with one visit to prefectures, and cards to be sent in the post.

The link to the new site is http://invite.contacts-demarches.interieur.gouv.fr/
