Belong France

French nationality takes years. Belong France keeps the count honest, from today to the day you can apply. Answer a few questions and it shows your real distance: which route applies, what you have met and what stands between you and a decision. YOUR ROUTE, CLEARLY Naturalisation by decree after five years of habitual residence, two after two years of French higher education, no minimum for recognised refugees and francophone nationals, and a declaration for the spouse of a French citizen after four years of marriage Every requirement explained: habitual, stable residence with France as the centre of your interests, French at B2 oral and written, the examen civique, stable and sufficient resources and good conduct Each rule sourced: Code civil arts. 21-14-1 to 21-27, the loi of 26 January 2024, the arrêté of 10 October 2025, service-public.gouv.fr. Your préfecture instructs, the Ministère de l'Intérieur decides. Rules as of September 2026 TRAIN FOR THE EXAMEN CIVIQUE 449 practice questions, filed under the five themes of the official programme, so you study in the programme's own order A full mock, and it really is full: the whole 40 question paper in 45 minutes, in the arrêté's own shape, 11, 6, 11, 8 and 4. It can say would pass at 32, because it asked the whole paper Five a day on a schedule that brings a question back just before you forget it, theme drills, a mistakes deck and a progress screen counting only what you did. In French like the sitting, English study line a tap away, whole app in either language THE PASSPORT AT THE END The document your road leads to, on its own tab: the real cover, with validity, the fee, where to apply and dual nationality, from service-public.gouv.fr. Add your name and a photo and it carries them as the holder's, with a line saying when you could apply, at the earliest TRACK WHAT MATTERS Log trips abroad and see how they sit against habitual, stable residence. French law fixes no day count, so a stay of three months or more is flagged as scrutiny, not a made-up deduction Try a What if scenario: pass B2 or the examen civique, marry, spend months abroad, and see your finish line move. Real rules, on a copy, nothing saved What's coming lists the dates ahead on your dashboard: residence time completing, another year behind you, a document expiring. Optional alerts, a handful a year, never a stream of noise YOUR DOCUMENTS, ON YOUR IPHONE Attach the evidence for each requirement, a language attestation, a permit, a payslip, and note when it expires, so it joins What's coming a month ahead They stay on this iPhone, encrypted by iOS while it is locked and kept out of your backup, so keep your own copy of anything hard to replace. Belong France never uploads them and never sees them WHAT YOU CONTROL, WHAT YOU DON'T The years you build, the exams you pass and the record you keep are yours. The queue is not: the legal deadline is 18 months, 12 after ten years in France, and files often run to 30. Belong France separates your side from the wait THE 2026 RULES, AND DUAL NATIONALITY Applications filed from 1 January 2026 face B2 French, not B1, and the examen civique, and the fee has been 255 euros since 1 May 2026. France asks no renunciation: you keep your original nationality if your own country's law allows it HONEST BY DESIGN No fake finish dates. Belong France tells you what is in your hands, what is not, and the next step. It is a tracker, not legal advice. Always verify with the Ministère de l'Intérieur, your préfecture or a lawyer.
