Article 61-6 of the French Civil Code

The application is made before the judicial court.

The applicant states his or her free and informed consent to the change of the indication relating to his or her sex in the civil status records and produces all evidence in support of his or her application.

The fact that the applicant has not undergone medical treatment, surgery or sterilisation may not be used as grounds for refusing to grant the application.

The court finds that the applicant satisfies the conditions laid down in article 61-5 and orders the change of the indication relating to sex and, where applicable, forenames, in the civil status records.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 61-6

La demande est présentée devant le tribunal judiciaire.

Le demandeur fait état de son consentement libre et éclairé à la modification de la mention relative à son sexe dans les actes de l’état civil et produit tous éléments de preuve au soutien de sa demande.

Le fait de ne pas avoir subi des traitements médicaux, une opération chirurgicale ou une stérilisation ne peut motiver le refus de faire droit à la demande.

Le tribunal constate que le demandeur satisfait aux conditions fixées à l’article 61-5 et ordonne la modification de la mention relative au sexe ainsi que, le cas échéant, des prénoms, dans les actes de l’état civil.
