I need to apply for a French National Identity Card (Carte Nationale d'Identité) in Haute-Loire. Please find out where I need to go to submit my application, whether an appointment is necessary, and what specific documents are required for a first-time application for an adult.
Navigate to 'https://www.haute-loire.gouv.fr'. Under the 'Les démarches en ligne' section, click on the 'Carte d'identité' link. On the 'Carte d'identité' information page, identify the primary location for submitting an application (e.g., mairie, commune). Determine if an appointment is mandatory for the application process. Locate and list the essential documents required for a first-time adult application. Synthesize the collected information regarding application location, appointment necessity, and required documents.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'Carte d'identité' information page on haute-loire.gouv.fr. The agent states that the application must be submitted at the 'mairie' (town hall) of the applicant's commune of residence. The agent clearly states that an appointment is generally mandatory ('sur rendez-vous'). The agent lists at least three of the following essential documents for a first-time adult application: proof of identity (e.g., birth certificate), proof of address (justificatif de domicile), two recent identity photos (photos d'identité), and proof of French nationality if not born in France (e.g., certificat de nationalité française).
