+## Complete the agreement
+
+After the workflow reaches **Wait for French agreement upload**, the party sits in <Badge color="yellow">processing</Badge> until the PA mandate is signed. **This step is manual and required** — the party cannot be accepted, registered in the Annuaire, or published on Peppol until it is done.
+
+### Sign in Console
+
+The agreement form is surfaced as a link on the party itself:
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Open the party entry">
+    In Console, open the party (silo entry) that the register workflow is running on.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Go to the Meta tab">
+    Open the **Meta** tab. The **Sign agreement for France** step publishes an agreement link there (meta key `approval-link`).
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Open and sign the agreement form">
+    Click the link to open the French PA agreement form. Review the mandate that authorises Invopop to act as the party's Plateforme Agréée, sign it, and submit.
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+### Sign through the API
+
+You can also complete the agreement programmatically — useful when you embed the onboarding in your own product instead of sending the signer to the Invopop form. Once the workflow has paused at **Wait for French agreement upload**:
+
+  1. [Download the unsigned agreement PDF](/api-ref/apps/gov-fr/agreement-fetch) `GET /apps/gov-fr/v1/entry/{silo_entry_id}/agreement`<br />
+    The mandate PDF is generated from the party's data for the signer to review and sign.
+
+  2. [Upload the signed agreement](/api-ref/apps/gov-fr/agreement-upload) `POST /apps/gov-fr/v1/entry/{silo_entry_id}/agreement`<br />
+    Send the signed PDF together with the signature method: `esignature` for an electronic (PAdES) signature, or `identity` for a handwritten one.
+
+  3. [Upload identity images](/api-ref/apps/gov-fr/identity-upload) `POST /apps/gov-fr/v1/entry/{silo_entry_id}/identity`<br />
+    Only required when the signature method is `identity`. Upload one image per view: `front` and `back` for an ID card, or `page` for a passport.
+
+  4. [Confirm the submission](/api-ref/apps/gov-fr/confirm) `POST /apps/gov-fr/v1/entry/{silo_entry_id}/confirm`<br />
+    Marks the submission as complete and wakes the waiting workflow task.
+
+Whichever way the agreement is signed, once it is submitted and accepted, **Wait for French agreement upload** resolves and the workflow continues to the directory and Peppol registration steps, ending in <Badge color="purple">registered</Badge>.
+
+<Note>
+  If you don't open the Meta tab and sign the agreement, the party stays in <Badge color="yellow">processing</Badge> indefinitely — it is never automatically accepted.

 ## Unregistration
 
 Run the unregister workflow to revoke a party's registrations when it should no longer issue or receive invoices through Invopop.
