QUESTIONS

What if I registered in another department and I need to change my address?
You go to the prefecture and fill in a form to ask for an appointment where you can then change your address. 

You must change your address immediately if you change departments in France. 

What if I need to change my address in the same department? 

You can move small distances within a department without it being urgent. For example from one village to another. But you should change your address as soon as you can to ensure you receive any letters that may be sent to you. 

What if my registration was not completed correctly in another department? 

Any problems can be corrected at the prefecture. This has already occurred where the papers were not completed correctly in one department and they had to be completely restarted in Carcassonne Prefecture. Please do not worry if this happens. 

What if one of my family does not have a biometric passport?

This family member will need some way to prove they were in Ukraine before 24th February.
For example: Bank Statements or proof of travel.
