Easier company formalities with the Foreign Companies Service “Titre Firmes Etrangères” 

You are an international company with no establishments in France and wish to hire an employee here. To carry out your administrative procedures, URSSAF has set up a dedicated service for you: the Titre Firmes Etrangères (Foreign Companies Service). Find out more and check if you can benefit from it!

What is the Titre Firmes Etrangères for?

If you have fewer than 20 employees in France, you can enroll in the Titre Firmes Etrangères (TFE) service free of charge to complete your employee formalities: the pre-employment declaration (DPAE), the employment contract, URSSAF registration, social declarations and payment of Social Security contributions.
The National Center for Foreign Companies will handle all of these procedures and make your contribution statements available to you in your online area. You will also be able to download pay slips, tax certificates for your employees, and information for your accounts department.

What are the benefits?

The TFE is voluntary and free. With this service you can:

– centralize your procedures using a single declaration,
– send your data automatically to the French Social Security bodies (URSSAF, supplementary pension fund, supplementary health insurance providers, and group death & disability funds so that your employees are properly registered with the French services),
