Sign up for Ameli and order carte vitale

Hello Jaey,

Only people who are covered with a permanent social security number (starting with 1 for man, 2 for a woman), could receive a carte Vitale and have an access to the ameli account.

If you are still studying in France, your social security number and cover don't expire. But the document called "attestation de droits" is only valid for one year.

I advise you to contact your CPAM (caisse primaire d'assurance maladie) to ask them for a new "attestation de droits".

If you are registered with a permanent number, in order to create an ameli account, you only need to use the first 13 digits of your french social security number but you need a temporay password (4 digits code).

If you cannot create an account despite that information, you can call the CPAM’s English speaking line.

I advise you to contact your CPAM (caisse primaire d'assurance maladie) to ask them for a new "attestation de droits".

Have a nice day
