The residence certificate is proof of your current residence in the Principality of Monaco. You are required to produce it for various administrative procedures (e.g. at the Monegasque government, embassies, consulates, private organisations, CAR, etc.)
Understanding the process
This certificate is issued to people of foreign origin who hold a valid residence permit for the Principality of Monaco and who can prove they have a principal residence.
People who have lived in the Principality of Monaco for less than six months may only be issued with a residence certificate if they present documents proving exemption.
The residence certificate is valid for six months. It is signed by the Commissioner of Police Department or by a Police superintendent.
When you collect your residence certificate, you must bring a 5-euro Monegasque tax stamp corresponding to the issuance duty for this certificate.
