WARP Card

[Fred]

Has anyone else applied for their Withdrawal Agreement Residence permit (WARP) card ?

We applied in October just after it opened, the process was easy as we have been here over 5 years. Within an hour we got acknowledgement and now just need to sit back and wait.

Anyone else ?

I applied on 19th October and received an acknowledgement an hour or two later.
I received an email from the Montmorillon sous-Prefecture on 14th January asking me to attend a rendez-vous on 20th January.
That took about 10 minutes - I had to hand over 1 recent photo, have my fingerprints taken and give them the names of my parents and other relevant family members.
At the end, I was told that my card would arrive in 4-6 weeks.
On 3rd February I received an email from Poitiers to say that everything had now been processed and that I should receive my card by post very soon.

I think I was one of the earliest applicants: my original registration number ended in 00026. My wife applied via the same website at about 5pm on the 19th and her number ended with 0244.

The system appears to be working

Good to know Brian. Looks like we are around 29,000 behind you, but I think the numbers are for the whole of France as Mrs Fred is 160 behind me and we done them at the same time.

I did put on the form asking for us to go together, but if it's in Montmorillon it's no big deal.

Will be nice getting the card in my hand after all this time.

Not long to wait

This is France

Just got my rendez-vous for next monday at Montmorillon.

Just need to take a Black Pen, Passport and a Photo. I think i will also take the documents I used for my application, but it's looking good.

Mrs Fred has not received her email yet, but as it's Montmorillon I won't push for the same day.

Great. They were very efficient when I visited. With luck, my card should arrive in the post in the next week or so.

That's reassuring.

Mrs Fred's has just come through for 2 days later, I'm thinking if she comes in with me we may be able to get them both done at the same time.

When I went for mine, they had my dossier waiting on the desk for my arrival so a surprise Mrs Fred would possibly not be too welcome. However, they were very friendly - you could phone and explain the situation and see if they could fit you both in together...

By the way, they asked for my parents' full names to enter on their paperwork so be prepared for that one!

We hate using the phone, and in hindsight with covid it may be best to keep them separate.

I certainly don't want to annoy them, thank you for the tip about parents names I'll have them written down.
