Every template explains the French procedure in English — what the letter does, what to attach, which deadlines apply.
Fill in the English form

Is it really free?
For the essentials, yes: choosing a template, filling it in, personalising it with AI, copying and printing it is entirely free, with no sign-up and no bank card. Two paid options exist if you need them: the custom letter written by AI (€2.90, free preview before payment) and the pro PDF laid out on A4 (€1.90).
Is my information stored?
Not for free letters: they are generated in your browser. Only the options you choose send data — AI personalisation, custom letter, pro PDF — under the conditions described in our privacy policy.
Are the templates legally valid?
Our templates follow the conventions of French administrative correspondence and cite the applicable texts (loi Hamon, loi Chatel, law of 6 July 1989…). They are provided for information: for a complex or contentious situation, consult a legal professional.
How does AI personalisation work?
On each template page, describe your situation in a few words in the “Personalise with AI” box: the letter is rewritten to fit your case while keeping the formal tone and the verified legal references of the template, without adding any. It is free. Your text is used only to write your letter: we do not keep it, and our AI provider deletes it within 30 days without using it to train its models. Always reread your letter before sending it.
How do I send my letter by registered post?
Prepare it for free on the right template, then send it yourself, in one of two ways: at a post office counter, printed and signed, or through La Poste's online registered letter service, which prints and posts the PDF you upload. Keep the proof of posting and then the acknowledgment of receipt: they prove when the letter was sent and received. Everything is explained in our free guide.
