When my husband applied to get the French nationality (I'm French myself) he had to wait 1 year after our wedding and when the file was ready, he had an interview at the police station and another one at the "prefecture de Nanterre". The lady there was so happy that he could speak perfect French that instead of 10 minutes they talked more than half an hour together. It happened in 2004 and rules have changed since then. Moreover during a year + 1day we didn't hear from the administration at all. And he received his birth certificate and became French!

@liannemellor1104 5 лет назад

That is insane. You are so committed! I just received my Dutch citizenship through naturalisation, and while I paid more (850 euros, I think), because of the seriously impressive efficiency of the Dutch government, I think I only had to show proof of integration (passing an integration exam or language test - I did the language test) and show my (UK) passport, birth certificate and marriage certificate (although since I had already submitted the last two to the municipality, they were already registered so I didn't actually need to show them again). I made an appointment at city hall, showed the documents and paid (right there, by card) and then waited for the 'Royal Decree' decision (which comes after the Dutch government does their own security check) and then a ceremony in my city in which I had to swear to uphold the Dutch laws etc. The ceremony makes the decree official. The government keeps all the information current, so I didn't need to prove I've lived here for years because they can see that as soon as they type in my social security number. Same with getting a driver's licence and passport - the information (when you pass your driving test, and your citizenship) is all right there so you just make an appointment, go in with your photo and pay and collect your document a week later. And here I'm still thinking I want to move to France! I must be crazy! You are so hardcore. I'm sure your application will be successful. :)

I'm from the US, my partner is from France, and we're getting married in Korea, that's quite a bit of paperwork and money on birth certificates and apostilles and translations and shipping documents and translators, and notaires in France. This is all just for the French government, Korean and US governments don't make this process complicated. But this is the way we need to do it, neither of us have lived in US or France for like 4 years (he's never lived in the US, and I've never lived in France either), we're legal residents of Korea, so Korea it is.

Vous allez sûrement l’avoir très chère, vous connaissez la France mieux que beaucoup de français, et on sens vraiment que vous aimez notre pays, moi je vous dis d’ores et déjà félicitation pour votre nationalité française et je suis très contente de vous compter parmi mes compatriotes ❤️

Hi. I'm just creating my dossier for naturalisation. In yours did you put original birth certificates for your parents or copies? Thanks biz

@moefag 5 лет назад

generally with french administration you only give copies, not the original documents, so they can keep them. Good luck with your naturalization!

@thebecbark 5 лет назад

on the prefecture site it states no copies, original documents only

So in this case, would you have dual citizenship for both France and New Zealand? Or would you have to renounce your New Zealand citizenship. I actually don't know anything about this, so interesting!

In the middle ages, you would not be treated like this. At the dawn at the 19th century, the migration restrictions were considered to be so out-dated, because they quite visibly limit the economic yields of migration in favor for the locals. And that was never refuted! We just forget about the unforgettable technical and cultural advancements we made while having this freedom-based system. So now, why do we put restrictions on migration again...?? This is so lame, but putting restrictions is so 1850s....but I admire you. You made so much effort to get what you want.

Endless forms and lost forms and resubmitting forms are very common. Having efficiency, is not a good attribute in France. C'est la vie en France.

Not sure if anyone else asked this yet.... Some countries give special consideration to those individuals whose parents or grandparents were born in that country (even if they were not) - is France one of those ???
