Choose the app that matches your residence-permit or French nationality application before starting your 2026 preparation.
Two apps · two separate pathways
Residence-permit civic exams and the naturalization exam require different preparation. Use the app that matches your application pathway.
First multi-year permit or resident card
For the civic exam linked to a first multi-year residence permit (CSP) or first resident card (CR).
Naturalization or reintegration
A separate iOS and Android app dedicated to the French naturalization pathway.
Available on the App Store and Google Play
These are independent preparation tools. They do not issue official certificates, and the AI simulation does not replace the real naturalization interview.
CSP and CR relate to residence-permit applications; Naturalization relates to acquiring French nationality. The pathways share civic topics, but their official question scope, study material and administrative purpose are not interchangeable.
