Protected Access for Name Change Requests

This measure keeps individual decisions about personal status and nationality, including name change requests, out of search engine indexing when they appear in the French Official Journal. The records remain available on Légifrance, but only through protected access. The practical effect is stronger privacy for individuals whose sensitive civil-status information is published.
