AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decree modifies previous regulations concerning the publication of individual administrative acts related to French nationality, naturalization, reintegration into nationality, and name changes. It mandates that acts concerning naturalization, reintegration, minor children benefiting from collective effect, and francization of names must be published in the Official Journal only under conditions that prevent indexing by search engines. These documents are now exclusively accessible on the Légifrance website under a 'protected access' regime. The measure 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 an opinion from the CNIL (French data protection authority). The goal is to protect the personal data and privacy of individuals acquiring or modifying their French nationality status.
