⚠️

How to Get Your French Statement from Abroad (Without FranceConnect)

Expats living abroad frequently get blocked because the portal demands a domestic tax code, local SMS number, or domestic digital identity. Here are the validated, legal workarounds:

**L’Assurance Retraite Direct Account**: If you do not have FranceConnect, you can create a direct account on lassuranceretraite.fr using your 15-digit French social security number and foreign email.

**La Poste Identité Numérique**: Expats can verify their identity using an international passport through the La Poste digital identity smartphone app.

**Written Request to CNAV / Carsat**: Contact the regional Carsat where you last worked in France or write to CNAV (Assurance Retraite Île-de-France, 75951 Paris Cedex 19) requesting your Relevé de Carrière to be sent by postal mail.

**CLEISS (Liaison Centre)**: The Centre des Liaisons Européennes et Internationales de Sécurité Sociale (cleiss.fr) provides assistance for cross-border pension inquiries.

How This Feeds into Your EU Cross-Border Pension

France requires between 168 and 172 quarters (*trimestres*) for a full pension without reduction (*taux plein*). Under EU Regulation 883/2004, all quarters worked across Europe are totalized to eliminate the French actuarial penalty (*décote*), ensuring your French pension is calculated at the maximum 50% basic rate on a pro-rata basis.

🔍 Common Gaps to Check: Agirc-Arrco complementary points are often listed separately from basic CNAV quarters. Ensure you check both systems.
