I’m relocating for work and need to know the steps.
What paperwork is required to move to Douai as an EU citizen?
1 Answer
EU citizens moving to Douai do not need a residence permit, but they must register with the local town hall within three months of arrival. You’ll need a valid passport or ID card, proof of address (such as a rental contract), and evidence of employment or sufficient financial means. The registration process also includes obtaining a health insurance card and, if you plan to drive, exchanging your driver’s licence for a French one after a set period. Detailed instructions and the necessary forms are available on the municipal website or at the town hall’s citizen services office.
A starting point only — it may be incomplete or out of date. Check official sources for anything important, and add your own answer if you know Douai.
