🇬🇧 English

This notice explains that individual decisions involving a person’s civil status or nationality, including name change requests, are not published in a way that search engines can index them. The practical effect is privacy protection. These documents remain available on Légifrance, but only through protected access, reducing the risk that sensitive personal information appears in ordinary web searches.
