Question 18128 — French people abroad

Summary

Ms. Amélia Lakrafi draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the cessation of the organization of Defense and Citizenship Day (JDC) by some consular posts abroad. The interruption of this service, which until now allowed young French people living outside France to fulfill their obligations with regard to this important element of the citizenship process, is poorly understood on the ground. All Conditions appear to have been implemented so that the young people affected by this interruption are not penalized in their future efforts. It should be remembered, in particular, that the certificate of participation given at the end of the completion of the JDC is among the mandatory supporting documents to be provided to take the competitions and exams subject to the control of the public authority, including the baccalaureate and the driving license. to drive. In place of this certificate, young people who request it may be given a provisional postponement certificate by the consular authorities, allowing them to register for the said exams. If the organization of the JDC by consulates is already carried out according to a "minimalist" formula, for obvious reasons of logistics and resources, the extinction of this service nevertheless deprives a certain number of adolescents and young adults from an awakening to citizenship which is nevertheless useful and an integral part of French school programs. Completion of the JDC being compulsory for all French people from the age of 16, she would like to be aware of the specific arrangements which will apply to young people residing abroad, in countries where the JDC is no longer or will soon no longer be supported by the consulates.
