newbiee Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I arrived in France in the summer of last year and went to the Marie to "declare myself". They put me on the voting list and I received my voting cards recently, so I am in the system. But I was not given a resident card or similar.I've not got around to registering with CPAM which I know I need to do. I have nothing official to prove how long I've lived here, in order for me to join the health system. Any suggestions? I have my E106 papers dated August 2007 and live near Bellac.

Clair Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 If you have not requested a resident card (i.e. completed the necessary forms and sent them off to the préfecture), you will not get a resident card.You do need to register with your CPAM.Unless I am mistaken (which can happen [:)]), as your E106 was issued before 23 Nov. 2007, you should be able to slip seemlessly into the CMU on its expiry. At that time, your income will be assessed for your CMU contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boiling a frog Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 A resident card is no longer a requirement for EU citizens and many prefectures are very unwilling to issue them.Re CPAM and E106You need to go to CPAM with your E106,passport,electricity or telephone bill and bank account details.It could be than on the expiry of the E106 you will need to take out private health assurance as CPAM may take the view that you were not registered with them on 23rd Nov 2007 so are not entitled to enter into the CMU system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbiee Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Thanks for the replies folks, does anybody know how I can find out where my nearest CPAM office is. I'm in Bellac, do I need to go to Limoges. You are a helpful lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperlola Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 It's too early to tell yet, what the results of late registation will be, as few people have been in that position yet (and won't be until E106s issued before 23rd November but never registered begin to expire and people try it). In theory, you should be OK, as the E106 was dated before the cut off date, but the authorities may take a dim view of the fact that you have never registered in the system. Just put all your cards on the table when you visit them, and ask as politely as you can for them to backdate your details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
