Verification

Before accepting your mandate, France REP checks the company, its VAT number and the French register of asset freezes; a person carries out an enhanced check for every company established outside France. Nothing more than the mandate requires. One click starts the checks.

The 8 steps and where you are Show

What we check

The checks query the VIES service of the European Commission and the French national register of asset freezes live. They take up to 30 seconds. For a company established outside France, a person always carries out an enhanced check. The signatory’s identity is not checked with a document online: the EPR expert confirms it when reviewing the file. Check details are written in French.

What do we keep from these checks?

The result of each check, its date and its source. No identity document is requested online or stored.

A file under review is read by a person. A refusal is always decided by a person, with written reasons; in that case, nothing has been paid and the signed documents have no effect.

Documents requested for the enhanced check: an extract from your home-country register less than three months old, translated if it is neither in French nor in English; proof of address; consistency between the register, your address and your website.

Who reviews this step?

Automatic checks, plus a review by the EPR expert for every file from outside France. A refusal is always decided by a person.

4 points checked by the EPR expert; 5 automatic checks. An expert point is only ticked by a person, after reading.
