how a letter actually moves through france friend
A letter's real journey has four stages. We shorten three of them.
Arrives
A letter shows up — CAF, the Préfecture, the Impôts, your bank. Official, dense, and due by a date buried in paragraph three.
Decoded
Upload a photo or PDF. Within 30 seconds: what it is, what it means for you, and whether it connects to anything else you've filed.
Actioned
A clear next step, and — when a reply is genuinely needed — a draft written in properly formal French, ready to send or adapt.
Filed
Every letter stays in your history, searchable, with deadlines tracked, so nothing gets found again by accident in a drawer.

Madame, Monsieur,
Dans le cadre du contrôle annuel de votre dossier d'allocataire, nous procédons actuellement à la vérification des ressources déclarées au titre de l'année 2025.
Nos services ont constaté que les éléments actuellement en notre possession ne permettent pas de confirmer le montant de vos revenus professionnels sur la période concernée.
En conséquence, nous vous remercions de bien vouloir nous faire parvenir, sous quinzaine à compter de la date de la présente notification, vos trois derniers bulletins de salaire ainsi que votre dernier avis d'imposition sur le revenu. Ces documents peuvent être transmis directement depuis votre espace personnel sur caf.fr, rubrique « Mes documents ».
À défaut de réception de ces pièces dans le délai imparti, nous nous verrons contraints de suspendre le versement de vos prestations jusqu'à régularisation complète de votre dossier.
Nous vous prions d'agréer, Madame, Monsieur, l'expression de nos salutations distinguées.
Le Directeur de la CAF

Without France Friend
With France Friend
Never shares a login
France Friend reads what you upload. It never logs into CAF, your bank, or any agency on your behalf.
Never trains on your letters
Your documents are encrypted and used only to answer your question — never to train any model.
Every major agency covered
CAF, Impôts, URSSAF, Préfecture, CPAM, France Travail, and your Mairie.
More than a translator
France Friend remembers your situation.
Each letter you upload helps it understand you better. So when something doesn't add up — like a CAF income figure that doesn't match your tax records — it tells you, before it becomes a problem.

Why not just use ChatGPT or Google Translate?
Both are excellent tools. But neither remembers your situation, calculates deadlines from the letter date, drafts proper administrative French replies, or warns you when something doesn't add up across your letters.
France Friend is built for one thing — the slightly anxious moment of opening a French admin letter — and gets you to peace of mind in 30 seconds, every time.
The next letter is already on its way. Meet it prepared.
