Any application for the release or modification of judicial supervision or for release must be declared to the registrar of the investigating court hearing the case or to the registrar of the court with jurisdiction under article 148-1.
It must be recorded and dated by the registrar, who signs it together with the applicant or his lawyer. If the claimant is unable to sign, this is noted by the court clerk.
Where the person or his lawyer does not reside within the jurisdiction of the competent court, the declaration to the court clerk may be made by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.
