French Civil Code
In forceAny act of opposition by the public prosecutor shall mention the forenames and surname of the author of the acknowledgement as well as the forenames and surname, date and place of birth of the child concerned.
In the case of a prenatal acknowledgement, the act of opposition shall mention the forenames and surname of the author of the acknowledgement as well as any indication communicated to the civil registrar relating to the identification of the unborn child.
On pain of nullity, any document objecting to the registration of an acknowledgement or to its entry in the margin of the child's birth record shall state the capacity of the person objecting and the grounds for the objection. It reproduces the legislative provisions on which the objection is based.
The act of objection is signed, on the original and on the copy, by the objector and notified to the civil registrar, who puts his visa on the original.
The civil registrar makes a summary entry of the objection in the civil register without delay. He will also make a note in the margin of the entry of the said opposition of any discharge decisions of which a copy has been given to him. The author of the acknowledgement is informed of this without delay.
In the event of opposition, the civil registrar may not, on pain of the fine provided for in Article 68, register the acknowledgement or mention it on the child's birth record, unless a copy of the release of the opposition has been given to him.
