Hi Guys
I applied and received my auto-entrepreneur status but was wondering how long it takes to receive my social security number. I think it's with URSSAF - should I be able to call them and ask them for my number and I guess I should ask a French speaking friend to call on my behalf?
I received confirmation on the 20th of June 2012 of my auto-entrepreneur status and wondered how long it normally takes to receive the social security registration.
Cheers
Tony
Tony, join the AE group, then take a deep breath before sifting through and finding every single answer you might need. There is no golden rule. My OH and I were done and suted in weeks, including Carte Vitale, read Sheila's rocky road to acheiving that and you get the other extreme. We still have a couple of things unresolved, but that is CAF if you happen to have children. If somebody at URSSAF, RSI or whosoever said 'Rub Alladin's magic lamp to get your answer' I would not be surprised!
A quote from Spike Milligan: 'Bureaucracy was the counterpart of cancer, it grew bigger and destroyed everything except itself.'
There you have France summarised perfectly as far as bureaucracy goes.
Hi Tony. I suspect it all depends on which departement/region you are in. I registered on line on 1st June but it was six weeks before I got confirmation of my social security number. I started a discussion re problems with URSSAF, RSI, etc. Some of the replies might be of use if you trawl through all the responses: http://www.survivefrance.com/forum/topics/help-please?groupUrl=auto-entrepreneurs&xg_source=msg_com_gr_forum&groupId=3339392%3AGroup%3A266893&id=3339392%3ATopic%3A342311&page=1#comments
Thanks Paul
Will look through my paperwork again.

Hi,
My partner joined the auto entrepeneur scheme on 20 June. He has had a wedge of correspondence from RSI and which includes his social security number. Not got a carte vital yet but got the number.
