Know where you stand

Belong France helps you track your journey from residence to French nationality.

Belong France tracks how far you are from French nationality. It is honest about the part you control and the part you do not. Below is what each tab does.

Built around the rules that apply in France.
Fully available in English and Français.

One tracker, two looks

Belong France now opens in Mediterranean, the warm light palette with a coral accent. The classic Midnight dark look stays one tap away on the You tab. Everything else stays exactly the same.

Dashboard

How far am I, really?

The Dashboard splits the journey into the part you control and the part you do not. The bar shows how close you are, and below it Belong France lists the routes open to you: naturalisation by decree after five years, the two year route for graduates of French higher education, the no-wait grounds for francophone nationals and recognised refugees, and the four year spouse declaration, each carrying its own status.

Your fastest eligible route rises to the top. Naturalisation is granted by decree of the Ministère de l'Intérieur, so Belong France shows no fixed end and never invents a date.
What ifNew

What if I passed B2 tomorrow?

What if sits on the Dashboard and answers that without touching your file. Flip a test to passed, add a marriage, spend six months abroad, and watch your finish line move under the real French rules. It runs on a copy of your situation, so nothing you try is saved and nothing you entered changes.

A sandbox, not a promise. The same rules that drive your Dashboard drive the scenario, and the prefecture's queue still belongs to the part you do not control.
Path

What stands between me and the decision?

Path opens your route and lays out every requirement in order. A green tick is met and a coral dot is in progress: habitual and stable residence, French at B2 oral and written, the civic exam, stable and sufficient resources and good conduct. Each item explains the rule in plain language and links to the official source on service-public.gouv.fr, from the accepted B2 proofs to the ministry's own preparation site.

B2 French and the civic exam apply to applications filed from 1 January 2026. Files submitted before then are examined under the former B1 rule, and Path says so.
Standing

What could set me back?

Standing watches the moving ground, your time abroad and your record. French law sets no fixed day count: residence must be habitual and stable with France as the centre of your interests, so Belong France logs your trips and measures the longest against a three month line. That figure is a prudence marker set by Belong France, matched to the absence length practitioners report prefectures questioning, because no law and no ministerial instruction fixes a number of days. Your record sits here too, with a plain read on good conduct.

Nothing is deducted from a counter, because no counter exists in French law. Standing flags the stays that could put your residence in question, before they become a problem.
PracticeNew

Could I pass the civic exam today?

Practice trains you for the examen civique, required for naturalisation applications filed from 1 January 2026. Full mock tests in the official shape, 40 questions and 32 to pass in 45 minutes, quick rounds of ten, drills across the five themes — principles and values, institutions and politics, rights and duties, history, geography and culture, and living in France — and a deck that re-asks what you got wrong. In French, like the real exam, with an English study toggle, and the ministry's free preparation site one tap away.

Written by Belong France from the official exam's themes, not by the Ministère de l'Intérieur. Practice, not the exam.
News

What just changed?

News is getting a partner. A collaboration with The Local France is in the works: the immigration and nationality news that actually affects your path, filtered to France, in plain language and delivered inside the app. Until it lands, the News tab says exactly that — and nothing pretends to be live before it is.

No fake feeds. Belong France pulls no news feed and makes no network requests, so what you see in the tab today is the honest state of what is coming.
You

What drives all of this?

You is where every number comes from. Set the month you became resident and a short list of honest toggles: permanent residence, marriage to a French citizen, your citizenship background, stable resources, the civic exam and French at B2. Change one and the Dashboard updates right away. Your look and your language live here too, Midnight or Mediterranean and English or Français with one tap, and so does the legal disclaimer, because Belong France tracks the rules but does not give legal advice.

Start here on day one. The rest of the app is only as honest as what you enter.
