According to Art. L. 114-15, salaried or self-employed workers who perform work in France while belonging to another State's social security system must supply the inspection officials at the place of work with the form on applicable social security legislation, i.e. the A1 form, which is prescribed by the European regulations, or the SE form, where an international agreement on the coordination of social security system is applicable.

When requested, the following should also be able to produce such form:

• For salaried workers, their employer, or;
• the employer's representative in France, or;
• the "prime contractor" stipulated in Article L. 8222-1 of the French Labour Code, i.e. the natural or legal person who entrusts a subcontractor with the performance of transportation services.
