The statelessness is not presumed. In France an alien must apply to the Office for Refugees. If his status of stateless person is recognized, he is under the legal and administrative protection of the Office for Refugees. His personal status (marriage, divorce ..) and his administrative status are now governed by French law. He obtains a temporary residence permit that allows him to work (restrictions in the public sector). After three years of residence in France, he may be granted a permanent residence permit (Article L314-11 9).
