Students going to France All students studying in France prior to academic year 2006-07 have been required to officially translate their birth certificate to French. This procedure had to be done officially by a solicitor and was costly, especially if they or their parents no longer had their original A4 birth certificate. The French embassy stated that students required the document for the following: *Caisse d’Allocation Familiales (an allowance which you may be entitled to for student accommodation in France) * Carte de séjour (residency document) Opening bank accounts It will act as official ID for accommodation landlords. * Your host university will be able to offer advice on how to apply for the Carte de séjour and Caisse d‟Allocation Familiales. However, after a recent survey of how many students actually used their translated birth certificate, it has been suggested that the French authorities no longer require students to translate this document. It should be noted that the official guidelines still state that all students require a translated birth certificate; however none of the Erasmus students abroad since 2005-06 were asked to show the translated birth certificate when obtaining the above documentation. The Study Abroad Office suggests you check with the host university to see if a translated birth certificate is required. If the host university insist that this is a required document, it is strongly suggested you do this prior to your departure to France. The Study Abroad Office can provide details about how to translate your birth certificate should you need to. 18
