Service-public.fr is the official website for the French civil service, set up in October 2000 and redesigned in November 2009. With over 4 million visitors a month, it is an important interface between the civil service and private citizens, businesses and professionals. Its mission is to simplify administrative procedures for citizens, professionals and associations, to give them easy access to legal texts and inform them of their obligations. Focused on the needs of the users rather than the civil service, service-public.fr is a single gateway to the information and practical online services provided by the public web.
