Frequently asked questions
- What is an attestation sur l’honneur?
- A written statement in which you declare something to be true on your own responsibility. French offices — the CAF, préfectures, banks, universities — ask for one in place of, or alongside, documents.
- Does it have to be in French?
- Yes: it is handed in to a French office, so the paper is in French. This page’s form is in English; anything you type into the free-text box should be in French.
- Does it need a signature?
- Yes, by hand, with the date. Many offices also ask for a copy of your ID to compare the signature.
- What if it is false?
- Article 441-7 of the French penal code punishes a statement of facts known to be untrue with up to a year in prison and a €15,000 fine. The paper says so at the foot.
- Is what I type uploaded?
- No. The PDF is made in your browser and nothing you type leaves your device. Nothing of ours is printed on the paper.
- Is this legal advice?
- No. It is a form. If in doubt about what you may declare, ask the office that wants it or a lawyer.
