What is the French naturalization interview?
The naturalization interview is an oral meeting with a prefecture officer. It is designed to assess your integration, your understanding of French republican values, and your ability to speak clearly about your personal situation and life in France.
Oral interview
This is not a written test. You must answer questions orally and interact naturally in French.
Personal questions
You may be asked about your journey, your integration, your daily life, and your reasons for applying.
Republican values
The interview also evaluates your understanding of French values, institutions, and civic life.
Why an English page can still help
Many candidates first look for explanations in English, especially when they are trying to understand the French naturalization process.
However, the real naturalization interview is conducted entirely in French. This means you need to be able to understand spoken questions and answer clearly in French on the day of the interview.
Our simulator is therefore designed to help you practice realistic exchanges in French, which also helps improve your confidence and spoken French before the real appointment.
