I.-The departure from French territory of a minor who is the subject of a measure taken by the family affairs judge pursuant to article 373-2-6 of the Civil Code, of a ban on leaving the country without the authorisation of both parents, is subject to obtaining the agreement of each of the parents in accordance with the procedures set out in II, III and IV of this article.
II.-Each of the two parents, jointly or separately, declares before a judicial police officer or, under the latter’s supervision, before a judicial police officer, that they authorise the child to leave the country, specifying the period during which the child is authorised to leave and the destination of the trip. This declaration shall be made no later than five days before the date on which the minor’s departure from the territory is planned, except if the planned departure from the territory is motivated by the death of a member of the minor’s family or in the case of duly justified exceptional circumstances.
When the declaration is made, the officer or agent of the judicial police verifies the identity of the declarant(s) and their status as parents of the child.
A report is drawn up and signed by the officer or agent of the judicial police and the declaring parent or parents. A receipt is given to each reporting parent.
The officer or agent of the judicial police forwards the report to the public prosecutor for information. He or she shall immediately communicate the relevant information to the manager of the wanted persons file so that this service can proceed with the registration of the authorisation in this file.
III.-The provisions of II do not apply when the minor is travelling in the company of both parents.
IV.-When the minor is travelling in the company of only one of his or her parents, the procedure set out in II does not apply to obtaining the authorisation of the parent accompanying the minor when he or she leaves the country. The authorisation of the other parent is obtained prior to the minor leaving the country, in accordance with the procedure laid down in II.
