When the declaration of absence judgment is given, extracts from it are published in accordance with the procedures set out in Article 123, within the time limit set by the court. The decision is deemed null and void if it has not been published within this time limit.
When the judgment has the force of res judicata, its operative part is transcribed at the request of the public prosecutor into the death registers of the place of domicile of the absent person or of his last residence. Mention of this transcription is made in the margin of the registers on the date of the judgment declaring the absence; it is also made in the margin of the birth certificate of the person declared absent.
The transcription renders the judgment enforceable against third parties, who may only obtain its rectification or annulment, in accordance with articles 99 and 99-1.
