CPAM registration — Passeport Talent (Personne de Renommée Internationale) + self-employed spouse

Cleo — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 09:19:38 GMT

Hello,

I hold a Passeport Talent — Personne de Renommée Internationale. My husband accompanied me on a Family passport talent; he was listed as my financial guarantor in my visa application and is self-employed. I'm here to carry on an independent artistic research.

As an independent contractor, he has no fixed employment contract or pay slips. He sells digital courses online, provides remote consulting services, and teaches in person at various training centres. His income is variable and documented through invoices and bank transfers. His clients are a worldwide French-speaking audience.

Our questions:

1. What documents do I need to register for myself under the Passeport Talent — Personne de Renommée Internationale? In the employment section, I wrote "Artist," but I'm on research, so technically, I'm carrying on the research activities rather than focusing on performing.
2. What documents does my husband need to register independently, given that he has no employment contract or pay slips — only invoices and bank records?
3. Does he need to register with URSSAF / Sécurité sociale des indépendants first, or can he apply to CPAM directly?

Thank you!

Application for Health Insurance Coverage: Egyptian birth certificate - Name Change done in Québec

Cleo — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 09:02:06 GMT

Hello,

I am registering with the CPAM in Marseille under the Quebec-France social security agreement (no waiting period). I hold a Passeport Talent.

Before leaving Québec, I legally changed my name through the Directeur de l'état civil du Québec and hold an official certificate of name change. The change corrects a transliteration error: my name in Arabic has always been the same, but it was rendered incorrectly in Latin characters on my passport, and my family name was accidentally dropped. I had no time to fix these errors before immigrating to Canada. My Egyptian civil documents, therefore, already reflect the "new" name, as it is simply the correct transliteration of my unchanged Arabic name. My RAMQ attestation (form 2719) is issued under the corrected name. However, my Canadian passport and French visa still show the old (incorrect) transliteration and have not yet been updated.

I also have an Egyptian family record that reflects my new name translated and apostilled.

I read on the forum that I should get a Certificat de concordance from the consulate. I can't get this from the Canadian consulate because I still don't have any ID that bears my "new" name. I have only the certificate!

My questions:
1. Can I register with the CPAM under my new legal name, supported by the Quebec name change certificate, even if my passport shows my old name?
2. Can the translated/apostilled Egyptian family record serve as a civil status document to establish my new name?

Thank you.

Paris CPAM application for Passeport-Talent holders

thmrzq — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 09:43:00 GMT

I am a researcher (intern civil servant) at a national research institute in Paris, and my family and I moved to France in early October. Because my institution forgot to apply for CPAM for me in advance, my family and I submitted all the documents ourselves by registered mail at the end of October.
It's been a month now, and I haven't received any response. My institution's HR inquired CPAM office and found that they had received the application and were processing it.
Should I cancel this application and have my institution reapply through official channels to obtain medical insurance faster?

Hello. My husband and I are Americans residing in France. We are retired. We are trying to apply to the French Healthcare system for the first time. I have printed the S1106a form.

Also, would the local CPAM office be able to assist us in ensuring our application and documents are correct? Thank you for you assistance.

Do my husband and I need to submit to CPAM in separate envelopes? Does this matter?

LauraU — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 09:45:35 GMT

I’ve printed out individual forms and identical copies of information for both of us. Can we submit in the same packet? We plan on dropping off directly at the CPAM office. Can we put both submissions in one envelope?
Thank you,
Laura

Social Security Coverage - Requested Titre de Sejour

gsp — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 16:05:20 GMT

I applied for the Titre de Sejour (first time). When I finished the application online, there was a message "You must have a Social Security Coverage. To find out more about Social Security Coverage, visit the following website: ameli.fr". I visited the website, but I couldn't find any information about who still waiting for the Titre de Sejour approval or where to get in contact about this.
How do I get Social Security Coverage during this process?
