Understanding Justificatif de Ressources CAF
When applying for benefits from the CAF (Caisse d’Allocations Familiales) in France, such as housing aid (APL), you may be asked to provide a justificatif de ressources CAF. But what is a justificatif de ressources CAF? In some cases, this can be an attestation de ressources, which is a self-written document declaring that you have sufficient financial resources to support yourself during your stay in France. Let’s explore what this means and how to write one.
What is a Justificatif de Ressources CAF? 🤔
A justificatif de ressources CAF is a document that the CAF requests to verify your financial situation. It allows the CAF to assess your eligibility for benefits such as housing assistance (APL). For students, particularly international students, this can be a self-declared statement rather than formal pay slips or tax returns.
Attestation de Ressources for International Students 🌍
For international students, if you don’t have regular income in France (such as pay slips or French tax returns), you may need to provide an attestation de ressources. This handwritten document declares that you have sufficient resources to support yourself during your stay in France.
Here’s a template for writing an attestation de ressources in french :
Je soussigné.e (NAME, SURNAME), ressortissant de (COUNTRY), titulaire du passeport n° (Passport Number), délivré à (Where Passport Was Issued) le (Date of Issue), résident à (Your French Address), France, déclare sur l’honneur :
Avoir les ressources suffisantes durant toute la durée de mon séjour en France, soit du (Start Date of Stay) au (End Date of Stay).
Fait Ă (City), le (Date).
(Signature)
Example of an Attestation de Ressources for an International Student
Let’s take the example of Priya, an international student from India studying in Bordeaux. She’s applying for APL (housing aid) through the CAF and needs to submit a justificatif de ressources. Since Priya doesn’t have an income in France, she provides an attestation de ressources.
Je soussignĂ©.e Priya Kapoor, ressortissante de l’Inde, titulaire du passeport n° A12345678, dĂ©livrĂ© Ă New Delhi le 15 janvier 2023, rĂ©sidente Ă 12 Rue Sainte-Catherine, 33000 Bordeaux, France, dĂ©clare sur l’honneur :
Avoir les ressources suffisantes durant toute la durée de mon séjour en France, soit du 1er septembre 2023 au 30 juin 2025.
Fait Ă Bordeaux, le 10 septembre 2023.
(Signature)
By submitting this attestation de ressources, Priya confirms that she has enough financial support (e.g., from savings, family support, or scholarships) to live in France, which is sufficient for her CAF application.
