🇬🇧 English

This measure keeps certain name change records available on Légifrance only through protected access, so they are not indexed by search engines. It mainly affects individuals involved in name change procedures and anyone handling or searching public legal notices. The practical effect is privacy protection: the records remain accessible, but they should not appear in ordinary web search results.
