Hello Robbie,

If you are a retired European citizen, you have to send your application with all your documents by bost to the caisse primaire d'assurance maladie (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.

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, issued less than a year ago, with the mention of your parents’ names;
- A copy of your marriage certificate, issued less than a year ago, if applicable;
- A proof of residency (utility bills, rental contract, etc.).

If you are a british citizen, you also must provide a residence permit.

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.
