Any deed or right must, in order to give rise to land registration formalities, result from a deed received in authentic form by a notary practising in France, from a court decision or from an authentic deed issued by an administrative authority.
The deposit in the minutes of a notary of a private deed, whether countersigned or not, even with acknowledgement of handwriting and signature, may not give rise to land registration formalities. However, even when they are not drawn up in notarial form, the minutes of the deliberations of the general meetings prior to or following the contribution of property or property rights to or by a company, as well as the minutes of abornement, may be published at the mortgage office provided that they are appended to a deed recording their deposit in the minutes of a notary.
The first paragraph does not apply to the land registration formalities for writs of summons, orders for seizure, the various related procedural documents and auction judgments, documents bearing administrative restrictions on the right of ownership or bearing administrative easements, reports drawn up by the land registry service, survey documents drawn up by a surveyor and changes resulting from administrative decisions or natural events.
