Every warrant shall specify the identity of the person against whom it is issued; it shall be dated and signed by the magistrate who issued it and shall bear his seal.
Warrants for bringing, committing, arresting and searching shall also mention the nature of the acts imputed to the person, their legal classification and the applicable articles of law.
The warrant to appear is served by a bailiff on the person who is the subject of it or is notified to the latter by an officer or agent of the judicial police, or by an agent of the police force, who delivers a copy to the person.
The warrant to bring, arrest or search is notified and executed by an officer or agent of the judicial police or by an agent of the police force, who displays it to the person and delivers a copy to the person.
If the person is already detained for another reason, the notification is made to him as stated in the previous paragraph, or, on the instructions of the public prosecutor, by the head of the prison, who also issues a copy.
Warrants to bring, arrest or search may, in an emergency, be disseminated by any means.
In this case, the essential particulars of the original and especially the identity of the person against whom it is issued, the nature of the acts attributed to him or her and their legal classification, and the name and capacity of the instructing magistrate must be specified. The original or copy of the warrant shall be sent to the officer responsible for its execution as soon as possible.
