Protected Access to Name Change Requests
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
Name change decisions and similar personal-status acts cannot be published in France’s Official Journal in a way that lets search engines index them. The practical effect is privacy protection. People affected by name change, civil status, or nationality decisions can still access the relevant acts through Légifrance, but only through protected access designed to keep these sensitive personal records out of general search results.

Obligations
What this law requires
Individual acts relating to a person's civil status or nationality may be published in the Journal officiel de la République française only under conditions that ensure they are not indexed by search engines.
Individual acts relating to civil status, nationality, or name changes must be made accessible through Légifrance using protected access rather than ordinary publicly indexable publication.
