Kind Words from Clients We’ve Helped
Super happy.
“Nothing too much trouble, great advice in setting up formal documentation. Also had calls and comms when we agreed which is most unusual (in my experience!) will ask for their help again in the future without hesitation! Thanks again!”
Lou Acres
Excellent service.
“Nothing too much trouble, sorted our work out perfectly. The service centre for our camping car commented to us without prompting that it had also been a pleasure to deal with Andy. My only concern is that French Admin Assistance does not charge enough for the fantastic service they provide.”
Julie T
Excellent service!
“I became an auto entrepreneur thanks to Andy, he is highly capable, motivated and patient. I would recommend this service to anyone and everyone who needs help or assistance. I would give 10 stars if I could!
Cleo Almeida
Excellent!
“Cannot say enough good things about these people. Attentive, polite, fast responding and always there to answer any questions. One of the best services of any kind I’ve ever dealt with. I wish all businesses were like French Admin Assistance. Incredibly reasonable pricing as well, in my opinion they don’t charge enough for the great service they provide.”

Got Questions About French Admin?
Straight answers, in plain English — just the way they should be.
How do our rates work?
We charge a flat rate for common tasks like car registrations, license exchanges etc... Or multi hour ad hoc packages incase several tasks are required, or if you'd like someone on call for any assistance in the future. We deduct the time worked off the prepaid hours, and theres no time limit to use this up.
How can you ensure that you'll carry out the work that we've paid for?
We provide a signed contract to all of our clients that legally binds us until the contract has been seen through. We ask that this contract is signed, and our invoice has been paid before proceeding with any work.
Where are you based?
We're based in the Dordogne, between Sarlat and Bergerac. We can handle most French admin related tasks digitally. We have clients all over France!
Can you recommend an accountant/ certified translator/ or insurance provider?
We collaborate with several companies who can provide services that we can't.
How long have you been doing this line of work for?
Officially, 3 years. But Andy has been handling French admin for over 20 years. He moved to France at the age of 11, and learnt the French language before his parents did, meaning that he had to help out with their admin from a young age. A few years later, when he lived in the French alps (for over 15 years), many non-French-speaking friends often asked him for help with everyday admin tasks. Until we started this business, Andy was a chef. We have two young kids, and he didn't see much of them because of the working hours. This is what lead us to starting French Admin Assistance.
