Why applications on this route get refused

Missing work attestation
Applying in the worker (salarié) category without the original work attestation from your employer doesn't meet ONECI's category-specific document requirement.
How to avoid it: Get the original work attestation from your employer before you submit your Resident Card application.
Outdated residence certificate
The certificate of residence must be less than 6 months old, an older one doesn't meet the requirement.
How to avoid it: Get a fresh certificate of residence shortly before you submit your application.
Incomplete online sponsorship or pre-enrolment forms
Both the online sponsorship form and the online pre-enrolment form are required before the in-person steps of the process can proceed.
How to avoid it: Complete both online forms on ONECI's platform before your appointment.
