"They will be (identified) in the coming hours," said Valls outside the Ecole Militaire where a centre has been set up for the victims' families.
At least 129 people were killed, according to the latest official toll.
"These are not anonymous victims. They are lives, young people, who have been targeted while they spent a quiet evening in a café, or at a concert," Valls told reporters.
"No psychologist, no volunteer, no doctor can console them," he said of the grieving families.
"But we must help them with the process, with identifications, to accompany them... through all the administrative tasks."
9.30am - Police find car used in attacks
A black SEAT car used by gunmen who fired at people in restaurants during the attacks in Paris on Friday has been found in the eastern suburb of Montreuil, police said on Sunday. According to news agency AFP, the car contained "several Kalashnikovs".
Police have not confirmed whether the attackers that used the car are still on the run.
The car - the second vehicle police have found linked to Friday's attacks - was used in the shootings at the cafe on Rue Fontaine-au-Roi where five were killed and in the restaurant on Rue de Charonne, where 19 were gunned down, according to prosecutor Francois Molins.
Police have identified one of the gunmen who blew himself up at the Bataclan concert hall, the scene of the bloodiest attack where 89 people were killed, as 29-year-old Paris native Omar Ismail Mostefai.
Six people close to Omar Ismail Mostefai, who took part in the killings at the Bataclan concert hall and the first of Friday's attackers to be identified, have been detained. Among those detained are his father, a 34-year-old brother and a sister-in-law, judicial and police sources said.
They are being questioned as part of routine efforts to verify information about the attacker, the sources said. The sister-in-law is reported by BFMTV to have told police that the family lived a "quiet life".
"It's a crazy thing, it's madness," the brother told AFP on Saturday before being detained, referring to the carnage that left 129 people dead.
Born on November 21 1985, in the poor Paris suburb of Courcouronnes, Mostefai's criminal record shows eight convictions for petty crimes between 2004 and 2010, but no jail time.
Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said Mostefai had been singled out as a high-priority target for radicalization in 2010 but, before Friday, he had "never been implicated in a terrorist network or plot".
Investigators are now probing whether he took a trip to Syria last year, according to police sources.
In related news, Greek authorities have confirmed that a passport found next to one of the assailants belonged to a man who registered as a refugee on the island of Leros in October.
However, Greek police are not ruling out that the passport had changed hands before the attacks.
They are also checking on the fingerprints of another man at the request of French investigators.
If the passport or fingerprints are matched to the attackers then it would mean they had hidden among the thousands of people that have fled Islamic State and Syria's civil war to seek refuge in Europe.
Meanwhile, authorities have said that the number of false alerts has escalated in the wake of Friday’s attacks. On Saturday, police urged the public not to spread false information or rumours as France struggles to come to terms with the second major terrorism attack on its soil in less than a year.
Authorities in Paris were on Sunday continuing the painstaking work of identifying the victims of the attacks. Prime Minister Manuel Valls said at lunchtime on Sunday that up to thirty bodies remained unidentified, according to AFP.
