The request is made online on the CAF site for already beneficiaries. Each month, they will receive a certificate to be completed and returned to CAF. Here are the main documents to be attached to the request:

  • Banking identity statement (RIB).
  • Proof of link with the helped person (family book, birth certificate, etc.).
