The application and payment platform of the Recognition of Diplomas Department – ENIC-NARIC France Centre will be closed from Friday, 7 August at 5 p.m. until Monday, 17 August at 12 p.m. (noon).
Please note: no application submission, no modification of documents in an already submitted application, and no payment will be possible during this closure period. The platform will be accessible again from Monday, 17 August at 12 p.m. (noon).
Submitting an application for qualification recognition can be used for continuing studies, looking for a job or for obtaining a reference to a French-language course as part of a naturalisation application. It can also be requested for any other purpose for which it could be useful.
To be the subject of a statement, the foreign qualification must be recognised by the competent authorities of the country in which it was issued and recognise academic and/or professional training.
Naturalisation – Important information
From 1 January 2026, in accordance with Decree No. 2025-648 of 15 July 2025 amending Decree No. 93-1362 of 30 December 1993, as amended, relating to declarations of nationality, decisions on naturalisation, reinstatement, loss, forfeiture and withdrawal of French nationality, the statement of comparability issued by the ENIC-NARIC France centre will no longer be valid for naturalisation applications.
Given our current processing times, applications submitted in this specific context will no longer be accepted as of 1 October 2025. Applications submitted before this date will be processed according to the current procedure.
To access your level of French in this context, you must present an officially recognised test, such as the TCF IRN.
