1. Check your registration route

2. Complete your file
Upload the requested evidence and respond to missing-document messages. Follow CPAM’s translation requirements.
3. Keep your affiliation certificate
Your first number may be temporary. Download the affiliation certificate and follow the file until your permanent number is certified.

When eligible, create your Ameli account, request the Carte Vitale, check your RIB and declare a treating doctor. Keep care receipts.
- Student affiliation is free. The Carte Vitale is not complementary insurance.
