How it works in Geneva
After you file your application with the OCPM, an investigator meets you and assesses your integration. Applicants aged 12 to 25 take a simplified oral test. You must continue to live in the canton throughout the procedure.
We prepare the complete application, including foreign documents, their apostilles and the certified translations that the OCPM requires for documents not written in French.
