FIRST REQUEST

ANEF

A national platform, called "ANEF", is gradually being deployed: https: //administration-etrangers-en-france.interieur.gouv.fr/particuliers/#/

This platform automatically sends your file to the prefecture connected to your home.

CMI Brest has prepared practical sheets for you, to help you submit the right documents and to explain how to ensure that your file is processed on time. The ANEF does not cover all statuses yet. If in doubt, reach out at etudiant@cmibrest.fr.

For the moment, the following are covered by ANEF:
