CréteilPréfecture

Créteil Préfecture refers to the Préfecture du Val-de-Marne, the administrative center of the Val-de-Marne department in the Île-de-France region, located in the commune of Créteil near Paris. It houses the office of the prefect, the representative of the French state at the departmental level, and serves as the hub for coordinating state services across the territory.

The Val-de-Marne department was created in 1968 from parts of the former Seine and Seine-et-Oise. Since the department’s establishment, the prefecture has been based in Créteil, functioning as the seat of departmental administration and the primary point of contact between the state and local authorities within Val-de-Marne.

The prefecture’s responsibilities include the organization and delivery of state services at the departmental level. This encompasses civil status matters, the issuance of identity documents and travel documents, coordination of residence permits for non-citizens, and the implementation of national policies in partnership with local communities. The prefecture also plays a central role in security coordination, emergency response, and the interface between national government programs and municipal administrations throughout the department.

The Créteil prefecture operates within a modern administrative complex in Créteil and is accessible to residents via public transport and city facilities. It works in conjunction with other state services and local government entities to ensure administrative continuity and the provision of essential public services across Val-de-Marne.
