Cost

€150 — a €100 tax plus €50 stamp duty. A late application adds a €180 regularisation fee.

What happens next
  • A digital acknowledgement of deposit is issued straight away when you submit.
  • If the application is accepted, the préfecture tells you the card is available and where to collect it.
Renewal

Renewals are assessed on attendance, exam results and diplomas. Repeating one year of a cycle once does not on its own disqualify you.
