Specific case of the course "Vivre en France"

If you have initiated procedures to obtain a residence permit or French nationality, please note that the free certificate provided by FUN does not serve as an official validation of your French language proficiency. FUN is not a certifying body, and the certificate is issued without identity verification.

The "Vivre en France" collection is designed solely to improve your French skills through self-study.

Since 2025, the badge has replaced the attestation of completion previously issued by the ‘Vivre en France’ courses. It demonstrates your motivation in the course of your application.

However, this badge (or previously the attestation) in no way constitutes a qualifying diploma.

For accredited training related to your administrative requirements, we recommend contacting the relevant organization for further information.

For a summary, you can refer to this article on the website https://www.service-public.fr/ Resident card: how can you justify your knowledge of French?
