This order changes how long France’s asylum application certificate is valid at the start of different asylum procedures. The certificate will initially last 10 months in the normal procedure, 6 months in the accelerated procedure, 1 month while the responsible EU Member State is being determined, and 12 weeks for certain cases handled under the EU border procedure. After the first period, most certificates can be renewed for set periods: 6 months for normal and accelerated cases, and 4 months where the responsible Member State is still being determined. The new rules apply to asylum applications registered from 12 June 2026.
