ADELI Professional Register: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to obtain your professional identification number required for legal practice and billing as a dietitian in France.
The ADELI Professional Register is a mandatory registry for healthcare professionals to ensure they are officially recognized by the state.
Who it's for
This scheme is for all registered dietitians practicing in France. If you are working as a dietitian within the country, you must be included in this national registry to be recognized as a legal practitioner.
What you get
The primary benefit of this registration is the issuance of a unique professional identification number, often referred to as a Numéro ADELI. This specific number is a requirement for your professional life; you cannot legally practice your profession or complete your professional billing without it. It serves as the official proof of your standing within the healthcare landscape.
What it costs you
The process of registration is free, meaning there are no administrative fees to obtain your identification number. However, you must invest the time required to prepare and submit your documentation. You will need to provide your official diploma for validation by the relevant authorities and present valid proof of your identity to confirm who you are.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that your registration is not a "set it and forget it" process. You have a continuous responsibility to keep your information current. Specifically, you must update your registration details whenever you change your professional business address to ensure the registry remains accurate.
