No, you don't. I am French and have an .fr domain and was never asked for proof of anything.

You are told that you have to something something France but it is just an information.

Namecheap disagrees. From Namecheap's support page:

Any company or individual residing within the European Union as well as in Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein can register a .FR domain.

Not sure what you mean. I wrote that there was never any proof required. Even the page you linked states that what is needed is only

Date of birth (in the YYYY/MM/DD format)
Country of birth
NOTE: If “France” is selected in the Country of birth field, the registrants should also provide the city of birth and zip/postal code:

I was born on 1970-01-01 in 75001 Paris, France. There you are, an .fr registered.
