How to close my CPAM account abroad?

Hello ddev2499,

In order to inform your caisse primaire d'assurance maladie (CPAM) that you have left France permanently, you must complete the form S1105 "déclaration de transfert de résidence hors de France" and return it by post to the CPAM in the departement where you lived when you were in France.

Your carte Vitale can be enclosed with this form.

I confirm this declaration cannot be made by telephone or by someone else as it is a declaration of honour.

You can find your CPAM's address on our website ameli.fr, section « Adresses et contacts ».

Have a nice day.

Bonjour ddev2499,

Yes, that's exactly right.

If you want to enclose a covering letter explaining your situation, you can do so but it is not mandatory.

I confirm that there is no other document that needs to be provided in addition to your declaration.

f you wish to discuss your personal situation and file, you can contact your caisse primaire d'assurance maladie (CPAM) by telephone from abroad. For that, I suggest you read this topic entitled : How to call the French Health Insurance Advice Lines?

Have a nice day.

Hello ddev2499,

Your CPAM will not inform you when your application has been received or when it is being processed.

You will only receive notification by mail once it has been processed.

If you wish to track the progress of your application, you should contact them by phone.

I wish you a nice day.
