What you can settle without traveling
- Check that a US citizen needs no visa for up to 90 days in any 180 (journalists on assignment are the exception).
- Ask the Paris judicial court for a certificate of French nationality by mail, since no consulate issues it.
- Download your certificate of residence from Service-Public.fr if you are on the Registre.
