Naturalization Service in France

• This service is intended for foreign nationals residing in France who wish to acquire French nationality through the process of naturalization. Whether you are an English-speaking expat who has lived in France for several years or a non-EU national who meets the residency and integration criteria, this service offers the legal support necessary to navigate the complex procedures involved.

• Naturalization France is suitable for adults who have been legally and habitually residing in France for a minimum period—generally five years—and who can demonstrate integration into French society, particularly through language proficiency and understanding of civic values. Some categories, such as spouses of French citizens or graduates of French universities, may benefit from a reduced residency requirement.

• Legal Residency: Typically, five continuous years of legal residency in France, reduced to two years for those who have completed higher education in France or rendered exceptional service to the country.
