Can an Asylum seeker get vitale card?

Hello Keerthi,

Only people who are covered with a permanent social security number, could receive a carte Vitale and have an access on the ameli account.

During the process of your asylum seeker demand and in order to be covered under the french health system, you will have to send to your local CPAM office (caisse primaire d'assurance maladie):

- the form S1106 "Demande d'ouverture des droits à l'assurance maladie"

- your particular of french bank acount (RIB)

- proof of residency (déclaration de domiciliation)

- your asylum seeker certificate (attestation de demande d'asile)

- a copy of your identity card

During the process of your asylum seeker demand, you will be covered with a provisional social security number. Once your demand will be approved, you will get a permanent social security number and then you will receive the form to get your carte Vitale.

You will have further information on this website, ameli.fr : "Vous êtes demandeur d'asile".

Have a nice day
