🇬🇧 English

This French decree implements Article L. 221-14 and Articles R. 221-15 and R. 221-16 of the Code of Relations between the Public and the Administration, following the opinion of the CNIL. It mandates that individual acts concerning the civil status and nationality of persons may only be published in the Official Journal of the French Republic under conditions that prevent indexing by search engines. These acts are made available exclusively on the Légifrance website under 'Accès protégé' (protected access). The measure aims to protect the privacy of individuals who have acquired French nationality through naturalization by limiting the public visibility and searchability of such decrees.
