Autoentrepeneur

Hi

Does anyone have an idea how long an application should take? I did an online form just over a month ago - but silence since.

Is this normal or do I need to pursue it?

Thanks

I helped a friend and it took well over a month to get the first replies.

If you do a search on here you will also find reference to the extra  processes you have to go through to get into the Health scheme, despite what it said about it being automatic.

Auto-entrepreneur registrations have now reached half a million since January last year, so many more are being processed daily than in the early days. This might account for the delays. However when you register on-line your application is given a reference number, and you could use this to check where your application is in the system. Normally you receive your SIRET number relatively quickly, enabling you to start trading, while the social security element takes longer.

Hope this may help - P-D de R.

Thanks for the help. I will give it a bit longer and hope things start to happen.

Chambres de Commerce took only a week to get my husband's papers out after lodging them at the end of April this year.  My URSAFF papers came through after about 6 weeks.  I was told by URSAFF staff that backlogs build up in May because of the four bank holidays.
