Your file must include the form cerfa no. 13944 that you received as a result of your online pre-application:
- This form contains a declaration of honor to sign, attesting that you are not in the cases of incapacity and prohibition that may hinder the issuance of the hunting license
- If you are a minor or adult under guardianship, the form contains an authorization from your legal representative that he has to sign.
You must also attach the following documents:
- 1 photo ID conforms to standards less than 6 months old.
- Duplex copy of a valid ID (national identity card or passport). If you are a foreigner, resident card or residence permit)
- Proof of payment made at the time of online pre-application of the duplicate, corresponding to the amount of the fee for issuing the duplicate (€30)
