Belong France, Terms and Conditions
These terms are the agreement between you and Belong Europe ApS for the use of Belong France. By downloading or using the app you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
Who we are
Belong France is made by Belong Europe ApS, a company registered in Copenhagen, Denmark, CVR number 46649044, reachable at hello@belongeurope.com.
What Belong France is
Belong France is a personal tracker. It helps you see your own distance to French nationality by organising the information you enter against published rules, and by showing honestly which part of the journey you control and which part you do not. Everything you enter stays on your device.
Belong France is not legal advice
Belong France is an information tool, not a lawyer and not an authority. Nationality law changes, administrative practice varies between prefectures, and this app may contain errors or be out of date. Nothing here creates any right, decides anything, or binds any authority.
Verify your own situation with the bodies that actually decide it: your préfecture, the Ministère de l'Intérieur, and service-public.gouv.fr. For the civic exam, the official preparation site is formation-civique.interieur.gouv.fr. For proof of French at B2, the accepted certificates come from France Éducation International (DELF, DALF, TCF) and CCI Paris Île-de-France (TEF). You use Belong France at your own risk, and decisions about your file remain yours.
Practice is practice, not the exam
The questions in the Practice tab are written by Belong France from the official exam's published themes. They are not the Ministère de l'Intérieur's questions, they are not endorsed by it, and they can contain mistakes. A good score in Practice is not a pass, and passing the civic exam does not replace the separate B2 language proof.
What if is a sandbox
The What if feature runs the same rules on a hypothetical copy of your situation so you can see how a decision would move your finish line. It is an illustration, not a prediction, not a promise, and not a commitment by any authority. Nothing you try in it is saved.
Documents you attach
You choose what to attach on the Path tab, and what you attach is your responsibility. We do not read, verify, validate or store your documents, and attaching one does not satisfy a requirement or prove anything to anyone — only the authority deciding your case can do that. The count of requirements that carry a document is a count of attachments, nothing more.
Belong France is not a backup service. Documents live only on the iPhone you added them on. If you remove one, delete the app, or lose or replace the device, it is gone and we cannot recover it, because we never had it. Your own device backup will not save it either: documents are deliberately kept out of that backup, so restoring a new phone does not bring them back. Keep your own copies of anything that matters.
Dates, reminders and alerts
What's coming lists dates worked out from what you have entered and from rules the authorities have published. A date shown as the earliest possible one is a projection, not a commitment: rules change, calendars change, and nothing shown here binds any authority.
Alerts for those dates are local notifications scheduled on your device and delivered by iOS at its discretion. They can arrive late, be held back by your system settings, a Focus mode or Low Power Mode, or not arrive at all, and they stop if you turn notifications off. Do not rely on them as your only reminder. Meeting a registration window, a renewal or any other deadline remains yours.

No warranty
Belong France is provided as is and as available. We do not warrant that it is accurate, complete, uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for any particular purpose, and we do not warrant that any date it shows will match the decision you eventually receive.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, Belong Europe ApS is not liable for any loss or harm arising from your use of Belong France or your reliance on the information in it, including any missed deadline, refused application or delayed decision. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Acceptable use
Use Belong France personally and lawfully. Do not copy, resell, redistribute or sublicense it, do not reverse engineer it, and do not use it to mislead anyone about their legal position or to provide immigration advice as a service.
Intellectual property
The app, its text, its rule summaries, its practice questions and its design belong to Belong Europe ApS. References to official sources are for information; the names and marks of the Ministère de l'Intérieur, Service-Public, France Éducation International, CCI Paris Île-de-France and The Local belong to their respective owners, and none of them endorses Belong France.
Changes
We may update these terms. The current version always lives on this page with its effective date, and material changes are announced in the app.
Governing law
These terms are governed by Danish law. If you are a consumer, you keep the mandatory protections of the law of the country where you live, and nothing here removes them.
