France: the meublé de tourisme registration number
France requires hosts of furnished tourist rentals to obtain a numéro d’enregistrement from their commune and display it on every listing — with a national system arriving under the 2024 loi Le Meur.
How registration works in France
France has historically been commune-based: there is no single national portal. In communes that have adopted the registration procedure, you file a déclaration with your local mairie, which issues a 13-character numéro d’enregistrement. The loi Le Meur (loi n° 2024-1039 of 19 November 2024) mandates a single national téléservice, generalising registration from mid-2026 — but as of the latest service-public.gouv.fr guidance the national platform is not yet operational.
Where to register today
Start at service-public.gouv.fr and contact your commune via the mairie directory. Large cities run their own portals — Paris, for example, uses teleservices.paris.fr/meubles-tourisme.
What the number looks like
The numéro d’enregistrement is exactly 13 characters: a 5-digit INSEE commune code, a 6-digit identifier set by the commune, and a 2-character control key set by the commune — for example 75056123456AB. The 5+6 numeric structure is confirmed by service-public.gouv.fr, but the control key has no nationally-defined character set, so a format check can only be advisory.
What you need
Your identity and contact details; the rental address (or its numéro invariant from the taxe d’habitation); whether it is your primary residence; and the number of rooms and beds.
Deadlines and the EU regulation
EU Regulation 2024/1028 applies from 20 May 2026. The loi Le Meur’s national téléservice must be in place by then, operated by a single public body designated by decree. Until that decree lands, register with your commune and watch service-public.gouv.fr for the national portal.
Check your number
Paste your France registration number into the helper for a client-side format check that runs entirely in your browser. Because each commune sets its own control key, our format check for France is advisory: it verifies the 13-character structure, not the key. Always confirm with your mairie.
