The French government has clarified which documents should be retained indefinitely and which can be discarded after a set period. Items that must be kept forever include the Livret de famille, marriage certificates, and property deeds. Other documents, such as property rental contracts, can be disposed of after three years, while tax declarations have a four-year retention period. This guidance aims to streamline the bureaucratic process for new arrivals in France and alleviate the fear associated with paperwork management.
