How to request your French relevé de carrière

Short answer

Go to info-retraite.fr, click 'Mon compte retraite', then 'S'identifier avec FranceConnect'. Pick whichever identity provider you still have an active account with — impots.gouv.fr, Ameli, L'Identité Numérique (La Poste), MSA, France Identité or TrustMe — log in on that provider's own site, confirm, and you land back on info-retraite.fr. From there, go to 'Ma carrière' and download your relevé as a PDF.

It is free, and there is no separate account to create — FranceConnect reuses logins you already have. The relevé lists your quarters of contribution (trimestres) and, for the complementary schemes, your points, broken down by year and by régime (CNAV/L'Assurance retraite, Agirc-Arrco, and any others you contributed to). It does not contain a pension amount: that lives in a separate tool, 'Mon estimation retraite', which France sends automatically as an Estimation Indicative Globale from age 55.

You need
An active account with at least one FranceConnect identity provider (impots.gouv.fr is the one most emigrants still have) · Your French social security number (numéro de sécurité sociale / NIR), if the provider you use asks for it

Below: all 6 steps, and what to do at each point where the login goes wrong — which is the part the official pages leave out.

Open info-retraite.fr ↗
Before you start

Before you start: do you have a working FranceConnect login?

info-retraite.fr has no login of its own — like MyWelfare handing off to MyGovID, it hands you to FranceConnect, France's single sign-on. FranceConnect does not issue its own accounts either: it reuses a login you already have with one of six partner services. The whole question is which of those six, if any, you still have working access to.

The six current partners, per FranceConnect's own list: impots.gouv.fr, Ameli (the health-insurance service), L'Identité Numérique from La Poste, MSA (the agricultural scheme), France Identité, and TrustMe. A seventh, YRIS, was discontinued on 1 July 2026 — if that is what you used to use, you now need one of the others.

For someone who emigrated from France years ago, these are not equally reachable, and this is the real analogue of Ireland's MyGovID address-matching trap. impots.gouv.fr is the one most likely to still work: non-residents with any remaining French-source income or property are required to keep filing French tax returns through a non-resident tax service, and that keeps the online account alive. Ameli is the one most likely to have stopped working: once you are no longer covered by the French health system (Assurance Maladie / CPAM), the account is generally deactivated, and French guidance forums are full of emigrants discovering this the hard way. La Poste's Identité Numérique and TrustMe are the two that can be created entirely from abroad — La Poste's is reportedly available in roughly 62 countries — needing only a smartphone, a valid passport or ID, and a phone number you control, so they are the fallback if impots.gouv.fr has also lapsed. France Identité needs the newer electronic French national identity card plus an NFC-capable phone; a remote-creation path for residents abroad reportedly now exists, but we could not confirm its current mechanics well enough to describe them here.

To use any of them, FranceConnect requires that you are registered in the RNIPP, France's national population register — in practice, that you have (or once had) a permanent French social security number. Former registration does not by itself keep an individual partner account active; that is decided separately by each partner (tax, health, etc.).

If none of the six accounts work for you, you do not need FranceConnect at all — see the postal-request route in the trouble section below.

If it doesn't look like this

I live outside France and none of my old accounts still work — what now?

Try creating La Poste's Identité Numérique or TrustMe from where you are; both are designed to be set up remotely with just a smartphone and a passport or national ID, without needing a French address. If you would rather not create any digital identity at all, you can bypass FranceConnect entirely and request the relevé by post: write to your CARSAT (the regional pension fund for private-sector employees — the address is Assurance retraite Île-de-France, CS 70009, 93166 Noisy-le-Grand Cedex if you do not know your regional office), or the equivalent for your last régime — MSA for agricultural work, the Service des Retraites de l'État or CNRACL for public-sector work. Include your full name, date and place of birth, postal address, and your social security number if you have it. Third-party guides describe turnaround in the 2–4 week range; we found no officially published SLA for the postal route specifically.

My impots.gouv.fr account still shows my old French address — does that matter?

For logging in specifically, no — FranceConnect authenticates against the account's credentials, not your address. Address mismatches become relevant later, if you go on to actually claim your pension and the paperwork needs a current postal address; they are not a barrier to viewing or downloading the relevé itself.

Do I need to register with a French pension fund before I can see my relevé?

No — the relevé already exists for anyone who has ever contributed to a French mandatory scheme, salaried or self-employed. There is nothing to sign up for beyond getting through the FranceConnect login; the record has been accumulating in the background since your first contribution.

1under a minute

Go to info-retraite.fr and open Mon compte retraite

Open info-retraite.fr, the all-regimes portal run by GIP Union Retraite. The link you want is 'Mon compte retraite' (sometimes rendered as the button 'J'accède à mon compte retraite'), which is the entry point into the personalised, logged-in part of the site.

If it doesn't look like this

Is info-retraite.fr the same thing as lassuranceretraite.fr?

No, and the distinction matters for what you get. info-retraite.fr is run by GIP Union Retraite and aggregates every mandatory French scheme you have contributed to — the general regime (CNAV/L'Assurance retraite), Agirc-Arrco for salaried private-sector complementary points, and the self-employed, agricultural, liberal-profession and public-service regimes as applicable. lassuranceretraite.fr is L'Assurance Retraite's own site and its career-record tool covers only the general regime — useful if that is genuinely all of your career, incomplete otherwise. Both accept FranceConnect logins; info-retraite.fr is the one that gives you the fuller document.

2seconds

Press S'identifier avec FranceConnect

The login screen offers FranceConnect as the way in. Press 'S'identifier avec FranceConnect' and you are handed to a FranceConnect-hosted screen listing the current identity providers as tiles: impots.gouv.fr, L'Assurance Maladie (Ameli), L'Identité Numérique (La Poste), MSA, and the others. Choose the one you actually have working access to.

This exact screen was captured on impots.gouv.fr's mobile app, not on info-retraite.fr, because that is where a genuine published screenshot of the button exists. The button and its behaviour are standard FranceConnect UI; info-retraite.fr's own login screen was not directly observed for this guide.
3seconds

Choose your identity provider

This picker screen is hosted centrally by FranceConnect itself, so it looks identical no matter which service sent you to it. Tap the tile for the account you actually have access to.

Whichever tile you choose next redirects you to that provider's own site, with its own look and its own login fields — impots.gouv.fr asks for your numéro fiscal, Ameli asks for your social security number and a confidential code, and so on. That part of the flow belongs to the provider, not to info-retraite.fr, and is outside what this guide can standardise.

If it doesn't look like this

None of the tiles match an account I actually have

Go back to the prerequisite stage above — you likely need to create La Poste's Identité Numérique or TrustMe remotely, or fall back to the postal request.

4under a minute

Log in with that provider's usual credentials

You are now on the provider's own site — impots.gouv.fr, Ameli, La Poste, or whichever you picked — using its normal login form, not a FranceConnect-branded one. Enter the credentials you already use for that service directly.

For Ameli specifically, the fields are your numéro de sécurité sociale (social security number) and a confidential code, as shown below. For impots.gouv.fr, it is your numéro fiscal and password. If you have forgotten either, recovery goes through that provider's own helpdesk — FranceConnect itself holds no password to reset, since it never stores one.

If it doesn't look like this

My Ameli account is showing as inactive or asks me to update personal details I can't provide from abroad

This is the expected failure mode for an emigrant who has left the French health system — see the prerequisite stage. Switch to impots.gouv.fr or La Poste's Identité Numérique instead.

5seconds

Confirm your identity and continue

After the provider accepts your login, FranceConnect shows a confirmation screen with your name and a button to continue back to the service that sent you — in the capture below, that reads 'Continuer sur votre espace particulier d'impots.gouv.fr' because impots.gouv.fr was the destination. On info-retraite.fr, expect the same pattern with 'info-retraite.fr' in its place; we have not seen that exact wording captured live.

'Ce n'est pas vous?' ('Not you?') is the moment to stop if the name shown is wrong — pressing continue on someone else's confirmed identity is not a mistake FranceConnect can undo from this screen.
6under a minute

Go to Ma carrière and download your relevé

Back on info-retraite.fr, logged in, go to the 'Ma carrière' section. It shows a summary of your rights ('Mes droits') — total quarters registered against the quarters required for a full-rate pension — and, from there, the relevé de carrière itself as a downloadable PDF.

We could not confirm the exact current label on the final download button against a live capture — third-party guides describe it variously as 'Télécharger mon relevé', 'Télécharger en PDF' and 'Télécharger votre relevé de carrière'. All three describe the same action; look for a download or print icon near the top or bottom of the relevé page rather than matching the wording precisely.

On lassuranceretraite.fr instead — the general-regime-only alternative — the equivalent path is 'Mon espace personnel' → 'Suivre ma carrière' → 'Consulter ma carrière', with the download button at the bottom of that page.

What you get, and what you don't

The download is instant — a PDF of roughly 180 KB, free, with no queue and no waiting notification, unlike Ireland's Contribution Statement. What is not instant is the data underneath it: a given year's quarters are only fully posted onto the record around the following spring, so the most recent one or two years may look thinner than reality.

The document itself, going by an actual sample: a cover page with a donut chart of trimestres enregistrés against trimestres requis for a full-rate pension; a 'Mes régimes' section listing each pension body you have rights with — L'Assurance retraite, Agirc-Arrco, and others such as Ircantec for public-sector complementary points — each with its own total (trimestres for the base regimes, points for the complementary ones) and contact details; a year-by-year table of quarters and points; and a detailed table of employers or activities with start and end dates, income, and which régime each period fed. Note what none of that is: an amount. There is no euro figure for your future pension anywhere on the relevé.

The pension amount lives in a separate tool: 'Mon estimation retraite' on info-retraite.fr, available at any age as a rough simulation, and sent automatically as an Estimation Indicative Globale (EIG) from age 55, which is the one that gives an actual table of estimated monthly amounts across possible retirement ages. Confusing the relevé for a forecast is the same trap as Ireland's Contribution Statement — it is a record of what has been paid in, not a projection of what comes out.

Keep the PDF once you have it. Like any career record, it is a snapshot: the same document requested again in a year will differ as regularisations and new contributions land.

If it doesn't look like this

A year I definitely worked in France is missing or shows zero quarters

From age 55 there is a dedicated 'Corriger ma carrière' service on the account for exactly this. At any age, missing or incorrect periods can be queried directly with the relevant caisse — CARSAT for a private-sector employer, Agirc-Arrco separately for complementary points, MSA for agricultural work. Have the employer's name, the dates, and any payslips (bulletins de salaire) to hand; third-party sources report regularisations taking anywhere from about 3 months (CNAV) to 12–18 months (public-sector schemes) to actually appear on the relevé, though we found no officially published SLA to confirm those figures against.

I also worked in another EU country — do those years count for my French pension?

Yes, under the same Regulation 883/2004 that governs Ireland's aggregation. Periods completed under another member state's system are taken into account as if worked in France for the purposes of totalling the quarters needed, with conversion rules set out in Regulation 987/2009. Overlapping periods are counted once. Each country still pays its own pension for its own periods — aggregation affects eligibility, not which country ultimately pays what.

Do I need to send my relevé to another country's pension authority myself?

No — as with Ireland, the institutions deal directly with each other. When you actually claim your French pension, L'Assurance Retraite (or the relevant caisse) contacts the counterpart institution abroad to obtain a statement of the periods completed there, rather than relying on you to produce one. Your own relevé is for checking the French side is complete and correct before you claim — corrections are slow, as above, and a gap discovered mid-claim delays everything.

Questions people actually ask

How long does it take to get a French relevé de carrière?

The download itself is instant once you are logged in — a PDF of roughly 180 KB appears immediately, with no queue or notification to wait for. What is not instant is the data it contains: a given year's contributions are typically only fully posted to the record by around the following spring (the Déclaration Sociale Nominative feeding it is monthly, but the annual consolidation is not immediate), so very recent periods can appear thinner than reality even on a same-day download.

Is there a charge for a relevé de carrière?

No. Downloading it via info-retraite.fr or lassuranceretraite.fr is free, and there is no limit on how often you can request it.

Can I get my French pension record without FranceConnect?

Yes, by post. Write to your CARSAT (regional pension fund, for private-sector work), MSA (agricultural work), or the Service des Retraites de l'État / CNRACL (public-sector work), giving your full name, date and place of birth, postal address, and social security number if you have it. Expect a multi-week turnaround rather than an instant download; we did not find an officially published turnaround time for this route.

I've left France — can I still log in with FranceConnect from abroad?

It depends entirely on which of the six partner accounts you still have working: impots.gouv.fr is the one most likely to have survived, since non-residents with any remaining French-source income or property must keep filing French tax returns. Ameli is the one most likely to be dead, since it is generally deactivated once you leave the French health system. If both have lapsed, La Poste's Identité Numérique and TrustMe can be created remotely from abroad with just a smartphone and valid ID, and are the more reliable fallback for a long-departed emigrant than trying to resurrect an old Ameli account.

What's the difference between the relevé de carrière and the retirement estimation?

The relevé de carrière is a record: quarters of contribution (trimestres) and, for complementary schemes, points, broken down by year and by régime — what has actually been paid in and credited. The estimation — 'Mon estimation retraite', or the Estimation Indicative Globale sent automatically from age 55 — is a projection: an actual table of estimated monthly pension amounts across a range of possible retirement ages. The relevé never shows a euro amount; the estimation is the only place that does, and even then it is explicitly indicative, not a commitment.

What does the relevé de carrière actually show?

Based on an actual sample document: a summary page with total quarters registered against quarters required for a full-rate pension, a list of every pension body you have rights with (each with its own total — quarters for base regimes like L'Assurance retraite, points for complementary ones like Agirc-Arrco or Ircantec — plus that body's own contact details), a year-by-year breakdown, and a detailed table of employers or activities with dates and reported income. It does not show a pension amount.

Why does my relevé have gaps or seem out of date for recent years?

Two different things can cause this. Genuinely blank periods — unemployment, study, time abroad outside any coordinated scheme — are not errors. Separately, the most recent one to two years are often simply not fully posted yet, since a year's contributions are only consolidated onto the record around the following spring. If a year you are confident you worked shows nothing after that point has passed, it is worth querying with the relevant caisse (CARSAT, Agirc-Arrco, or MSA) with the employer's name, dates, and any payslips you still hold.

Do my years working in another EU country count towards my French pension?

Yes, for qualifying purposes, under Regulation 883/2004 — the same EU social security coordination that applies to Ireland's PRSI record. Insurance periods completed in another member state are taken into account as if completed in France, using conversion rules set by Regulation 987/2009, so periods that would be too short to count anywhere alone can still contribute to eligibility. Each country still pays its own pension for its own periods.

Do I send my relevé to the other country's pension authority myself?

No. As with Ireland, the pension institutions request records from each other directly once you actually claim — you are not the courier. Your relevé is for your own use, to confirm the French side of your record is complete before that happens.

What happened to YRIS as a FranceConnect login option?

It was discontinued on 1 July 2026. If YRIS was your usual way into FranceConnect, you now need one of the remaining five: impots.gouv.fr, Ameli, La Poste's Identité Numérique, MSA, France Identité, or TrustMe.
