How to be covered if I am a retired European citizen ?

Once you have arrived in France, in order to be covered under the French healthcare system, you will need to submit the following documents to your caisse primaire d’assurance maladie (CPAM):

- A copy of the passport or identity card;
- The S1106 form « Application for membership in the French healthcare system » available on ameli.fr;
- A copy of your S1 form, delivered by the healthcare system of your previous European country of residence;
- The certified and complete copy of your birth certificate, with the mention of your parents’ names;
- A copy of your marriage certificate, if applicable;
- A proof of residency (utility bills, rental contract, etc.);
- Your French bank account details (copy of your official RIB - relevé d'identité bancaire/IBAN).

You have to send your application to the CPAM where you are living. You can find your CPAM's address on our website ameli.fr, section "Adresses et Contacts".

Have a nice day.
