France

Last checked: 16 October 2026. Scope: obtaining numbers for inbound/general telephony.

Number types and address rules

Type	Eligibility and address
Local, national, mobile	Businesses and individuals; French address
Toll-free	Businesses only; European Economic Area address

Local numbers require a French address, not necessarily the matching area-code region. Business local/national/mobile addresses cannot be PO boxes.

What to prepare

Businesses: commercial-register extract (Kbis) identifying the authorized representative; registration number (RCS or SIREN/SIRET for France); website; representative's name and email. Prove the required address with the register extract, utility bill, tax notice, rent receipt, or title deed. Toll-free applicants registered abroad supply their official registration number.

Individuals: government ID, passport, or residence permit; address evidence from an ID showing the address, utility bill, tax notice, rent receipt, or title deed.

Before ordering

Mobile numbers are restricted to a single natural person's interpersonal, two-way use. Do not select them for a shared automated support line. Twilio also lists Technical Platform and Verified Polyvalent (NPV) categories under national KYC; confirm the intended use before ordering.

These are preparation notes, not a stock or approval guarantee. Check the exact number's Voice capability and current registration form. For shared terms and the ordering steps, see the overview.

Local terminology

Translations help identify terms; they do not expand Twilio's accepted document list.

English	Local term
Local / national	Numéro géographique / numéro national
Mobile / toll-free	Numéro mobile / numéro gratuit (numéro vert)
Proof of address	Justificatif de domicile
Commercial-register extract	Extrait Kbis
Tax notice / rent receipt	Avis d’imposition / quittance de loyer
