I need to apply for a French national identity card or passport. On Service-Public.fr, what identity documents does the information on photo requirements apply to, where should I generally submit my application, and is my personal presence mandatory during the application process?
Navigate to Service-Public.fr. Use the search bar to search for 'passeport'. From the search results, click on the general 'Passeport' link (ID 177). On the 'Passeport' page, identify the general recommendation for where to submit applications. Scroll down and click on the question 'La photo peut-elle être prise au guichet ?' (ID 341) under 'Questions ? Réponses !'. On the new page, identify the types of identity documents covered in the title. Determine from the text if personal presence is mandatory for the application. Synthesize the information about the documents covered, the application location, and the personal presence requirement.
State that the information covers both 'Carte nationale d'identité' (National Identity Card) and 'Passeport' (Passport). State that applications should generally be submitted to the town hall ('mairie'). Confirm that personal presence is mandatory for submitting the application (implied by the requirement to provide the photo).
