Your titre de séjour may already be ready
— ANEF just isn't telling you.
The official ANEF site shows “en cours” for months and the SMS never arrives. This free Chrome extension shows the real status straight from the official ANEF site — in one click.
Ready
The card is printed. The website pretends nothing happened.
After a favourable decision, your titre de séjour is usually produced in a few weeks. But ANEF often keeps showing “en cours de fabrication” — or nothing at all — for months. The SMS that's supposed to tell you to come and collect it? It frequently never arrives. And there's nobody to call.
- The status freezes for 6–12 months while your card sits ready in the prefecture.
- No SMS, no email — and emails to the prefecture go unanswered.
- Your attestation expires while you wait, with no way to know what's happening.
“Titre en cours de fabrication. The SMS never arrived. Renewal filed in October 2023, favourable decision a year later, attestation expired in January… désespérée.”
“The card is still ‘en cours de fabrication’ according to my ANEF space — favourable decision since March, almost a year ago. The prefecture won't answer.”
“Two months staring at my phone waiting for an SMS that never came. When I finally asked, the pickup took less than five minutes.”
Three clicks to the truth
No account, no password to type anywhere, nothing to install on your computer. Just a browser extension that reads the official ANEF site to find the answer the page won't show you.
Open ANEF & log in
On your computer, in Chrome, log into your usual account on the official Étrangers en France website. That's the same session you always use.

Open the Sejour Status Checker from your Chrome toolbar and press the button. It uses your existing login to read your status on the official ANEF site — you never paste a password anywhere.

In a second it shows whether your titre is in progress, ready to collect, or refused — and exactly which stage it's at. Decoded into plain language.
→ TITRE FABRIQUÉFrom filed to ready — where does your titre stand?
Every titre de séjour moves through the same stages. The extension shows exactly which one you're on — and how long you've been waiting there.
Every ANEF status, in plain English
The extension recognises the raw status codes the official ANEF site returns and sorts them into three groups so you instantly know where you stand.

This is the moment most people miss for months. The extension catches it the day it happens.

Knowing early matters: after 4 months of silence a request can be legally treated as rejected. Don't lose the window to act.
…and more. In total the extension decodes 23 distinct ANEF statuses across the three readiness groups.
It reads. It never takes.
A fair question for any extension. Here's exactly what Sejour Status Checker does — and, more importantly, what it doesn't.
Nothing leaves your device
The status is fetched and shown locally in your browser. There is no server of ours in the middle — your data is never sent anywhere.
Only the official ANEF page
It uses your existing login on the government site to read the official ANEF page — and nothing else. It never touches other tabs or other sites.
No tracking, no accounts
No analytics, no sign-up, no password to type into the extension. You stay logged in to ANEF exactly the way you already are.
On the Chrome Web Store
Published in Google's official catalogue and passed its review — used by 1,000+ people with a 4.7★ rating.
We lost 6 months to a status that wouldn't update.
After a favourable decision, we waited and waited for an SMS that never came. When we finally read the real status on the official ANEF site, we discovered our titres had been ready for months.
From application to a finished card: 66 days. The day we actually received it: day 271.
So we turned the trick into a one-click extension and put it on the Chrome Web Store — for free — so nobody else has to lose half a year to a website that just won't tell them the truth.
