What is the Carte BTP?

The Carte BTP (Carte d'identification professionnelle des salariés du BTP) is a mandatory identification pass for all workers in the French construction, installation and assembly sector. The pass is issued by the UCF (Union des Caisses de France) and must be carried on site. Who needs one and how to apply: see our article on the Carte BTP.

  • Mandatory for all construction, installation and assembly work
  • Applied individually per employee via the CIBTP France portal
  • Contains photo, name, employer and profession
  • Valid for the duration of the posting (max. 5 years)
  • Must be carried or shown on the construction site
  • WorkAdministration is an independent commercial service provider and is not affiliated with the French government. Our software supports companies with the administrative obligations of posting workers to France; you file yourself.
