Attention: The childcare service voucher is usually issued for a period of 12 months. It is valid from the date of application to the CAE. The CAE cannot issue a voucher with a validity date prior to the date of application.
Non-resident workers who want their child to benefit from the childcare-service voucher scheme when registering with an education and care service (SEA) must apply to the CAE.
All new or renewed applications must be submitted to the CAE by sending the childcare-service voucher form (in french / in german) duly signed and accompanied by the required documents.
You can send us your documents
- either by post or
- electronically by clicking here. The submission of documents by electronic means is however only possible for already existing files for which a proper application has already been submitted to the CAE. You must choose in the electronic form in the box "type of service" the heading "childcare-service voucher" and you will be able to attach your supporting documents at the end of the procedure via the button "add a document".
The application is free and can be made all year round. The CSA system will no longer issue cards.
Conditions:
To be eligible for the CSA, the non-resident worker must
- be registered with the Centre commun de la sécurité or
