Qualifying paths to French nationality
There are several legal routes to obtain French passport, but the requirements differ depending on the applicant’s background and personal situation. Understanding these distinctions is essential before choosing the right strategy, and Lexidy helps to focus on the details that truly matter.
- Naturalization through residency
Foreign nationals with at least five years of continuous residence may request citizenship, while graduates of local universities or those with military service can qualify after only two. Language ability at B1 level and proof of integration are also required to get a passport. Lexidy assists by checking residency history, preparing supporting evidence, and guiding clients through interviews with the authorities.
- Citizenship by descent
Anyone with at least one parent who held nationality at the time of their birth in most cases can obtain citizenship without a residence requirement. The process relies on civil certificates and other official records proving parental connection to a citizen. Lexidy helps applicants collect, translate, and validate these documents so the authorities accept them without delay.
- Citizenship by marriage
The spouse of a national (passport holder) may apply after four years of marriage, or three when the couple has shared residence within the country. The authorities carefully review proof of cohabitation, the authenticity of the relationship, and language knowledge. With Lexidy, clients receive step-by-step assistance in compiling the marital file and meeting the legal obligations.
