The Certificate of Domicile is a document issued based on Article 7 of the Tax Treaty between France and Monaco which took effect, 18th of May 1963.

Following are procedures on how to obtain a Certificate of Domicile for tax purposes in Monaco.

Residents of the Principality

Beginning January 1986, and following the removal of the concept of "Head of the Family" in French taxation law:

The spouse of a French national, if the French national possess a certificate of domicile, is eligible to enjoy "fiscal privileges," on a condition that he or she has lived in Monaco with his or her spouse since the date of their marriage.

The rule also applies to:

• The spouse (male or female) of a Monegasque person.
• And to French nationals who are married to someone with a nationality other than Monegasque or French, before January 1986 and who moved to Monaco before the said date.

For individuals who possess dual nationality (French and nationalities other than Monegasque) who lives in Monaco or who is moving to Monaco is considered as of French nationality only for tax purposes.

Please explain what are other uses of obtaining this document/certificate.
e.g. Birth Certificate can be used as proof of identity.
