Starting today, a new travel certificate is required for any journey exceeding 100 km from your home. This straightforward form ensures compliance with current travel restrictions.
Conveniently, no printer is needed—fill it out directly on your smartphone for quick access.
However, it must be supported by two key documents: proof of address and justification for your trip.
Follow this expert step-by-step guide to complete it flawlessly and avoid fines:
1. Access the form on your smartphone here or download the paper version here.
2. Enter your first name, last name, date and place of birth, full address, city, and postal code.
3. Specify the destination city and department.
4. Carry valid proof of address (less than one year old) in your name, such as a utility bill (phone, electricity, gas, water), rent receipt, tax notice, property tax bill, housing insurance certificate, or CAF statement for housing aid.
5. Select one of the seven authorized reasons:
- Professional travel (justified by employer).
- Home-to-school trips by students or guardians.
- Medical consultations or specialized care.
- Assistance to vulnerable persons or childcare (compelling reasons).
- Police or gendarmerie summons.
- Judicial authority summons.
- Missions of general interest.
6. Provide supporting proof based on your reason: employer certificate, medical appointment confirmation, school enrollment, police/judicial summons, etc.
With your completed certificate and documents ready, you're set for safe travels and roadside checks.
