🇬🇧 English

This text explains that individual decisions about a person's civil status or nationality, including name change requests, can only appear in the French Official Journal if search engines cannot index them. In practice, these records remain available on Légifrance, but through protected access. The goal is to limit public search visibility for sensitive personal information.
