3. Create an Account:

4. Log In to Your Account:

• Once you have an Ameli account, log in using your username and password.

9. Wait for Confirmation:

• After submitting your application, you should receive a confirmation of your registration for social security coverage. This may include your social security number (numéro de sécurité sociale) and further instructions.

10. Access Healthcare Services: - Once you have your social security coverage confirmed, you can use your Carte Vitale to access healthcare services and benefits in France.
