🇬🇧 English

This measure keeps individual decisions about civil status and nationality, including name change requests, out of search engine indexing when they are published through France’s official legal information system. The practical effect is privacy protection. The documents remain available on Légifrance, but only through protected access, reducing the risk that personal identity-related decisions appear in ordinary web searches.
