  • How do I report a problem?

    Click “Report a problem” at the top of every page, follow the 5 steps of the form and submit. An account is not required, but it allows you to follow your report.

  • How do I track the status of my report?

    Each report goes through the statuses Pending → Verified → In progress → Resolved. You are notified at each step if you follow it.

  • Can I report anonymously?

    Yes. Your name is never shown publicly if you choose the anonymous option, and your contact details are never passed on to administrations.

    It is a weighted average of 5 criteria: reactivity, resolution, transparency, quality of responses and engagement. The full method is public on the Methodology page.

    Every administration concerned is notified. The national response rate is currently 72%, with an average delay of 4.2 days.
