13/05/2008, 8:17 newbiee Joined on 29/12/2007 Posts 111 CPAM I arrived in France in the summer of last year and went to the Marie to "declare myself".  They put me on the voting list and I received my voting cards recently, so I am in the system.  But I was not given a resident card or similar. I've not got around to registering with CPAM which I know I need to do.  I have nothing official to prove how long I've lived here, in order for me to join the health system.  Any suggestions?  I have my E106 papers dated August 2007 and live near Bellac.   Thanks    Report

You do need to register with your CPAM. Unless I am mistaken (which can happen ), as your E106 was issued before 23 Nov. 2007, you should be able to slip seemlessly into the CMU on its expiry. At that time, your income will be assessed for your CMU contribution.

Re CPAM and E106 You need to go to CPAM with your E106,passport,electricity or telephone bill and bank account details. It could be than on the expiry of the E106 you will need to take out private health assurance as CPAM may take the view that you were not registered with them on 23rd Nov 2007 so are not entitled to enter into the CMU system         Boiling a frog    Report
