Monaco residents aged 18 and over can now request administrative residency certificates online and pay associated fees directly through MonGuichet.mc, the government announced. 

The online system eliminates the need to purchase a fiscal stamp for digital requests, with payment integrated, secured and processed immediately through the platform. Residents can complete the entire process without visiting a government office.

Transition period for two formats

A transitional period will accommodate the change, during which two certificate formats will coexist. Certificates requested online will not bear an affixed fiscal stamp, whilst certificates requested in paper format will continue to feature a physical stamp.

Both versions are officially recognised and will circulate in parallel. The government emphasises that the new digital format carries full validity with all relevant organisations.

Simplified process

The online service was designed to facilitate procedures whilst guaranteeing full certificate validity. For residents, the system offers a faster, simpler process without the need to travel to purchase a fiscal stamp. For organisations requiring the certificates, the government provides assurance that the new digital format is entirely valid.

The project was developed jointly by the Public Security Directorate and the Digital Services Directorate as part of ongoing public service modernisation in the Principality.

Residents who prefer the traditional method can still complete the process in paper format directly at the Residents Section counter, with prior purchase of a fiscal stamp required.

The online service is accessible through MonGuichet.mc, Monaco’s centralised digital platform for administrative procedures.

The new digital service launched on 18th December 2025.
