    Oooooh it looks like things were simplified a lot. Last time I had to go request a CNF (which in my case involved getting birth certificates up to my grandfather!) to get an ID card even though I was registered at Nantes.

  • @jcaron I believe the main question is how the parents exercised their french citizenship (having a passport, ID etc.) Commented Sep 11, 2022 at 20:34
  • The service public page on passports has slightly different information. If you are born abroad from parents born in France, you should be fine with just a birth certificate. You can also apply for the transcription of your birth certificate later on.

    @Relaxed I have replaced that with the link found at the Certificate of French nationality (CNF) page. Commented Sep 12, 2022 at 7:49
