CHANGING DEPARTMENTS?

[Philouis]

We have just moved from the Charente to the Charente Maritime and need to transfer our CPAM accordingly. I think that Saintes is the location of the head office of the CPAM in this department, so how do we go about reregistering the transfer? Does it mean that we will have to obtain a new Carte Vitale?

You can do it online via the ameli site. MUCH less stressful than visiting a CPAM office.

Hi!

If the process has not been modernize lately, you will unfortunately have to start from scratch, with all the documents.

Let us know.

PS. You will also have to consider reregistrating your car, and advising the insurance.

And also advising the Tax Office - Usually on the Site of the Mairie, there is a heading " Déménagement ", where you can, with all the tax numbers, do it electronically.

If you want to inform the various departments of the French administration of your change of address, you can do so from this link.

You will probably still have to change your carte gris via the Sub/Prefecture.

A few other useful links on changing address.
