🇬🇧 English

This decree concerns individual name changes and confirms that these records are made available only through protected access on Légifrance. They must not be indexed by search engines. The practical effect is privacy-focused: people affected by name-change decisions can have the official act published without making it easily searchable online. Businesses and compliance teams are unlikely to face any operational change.
