Article 801 of the French General Tax Code

The declaration provided for in Article 800 must mention the surname, first names, date and place of birth of each of the heirs, legatees or donees.

If the birth took place outside France, proof of this date must also be provided before the declaration is registered, failing which the highest duties that may be owed to the Treasury will be levied, unless the overpayment is refunded as stated in article 1965 C.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 801

La déclaration prévue à l’article 800 doit mentionner les nom, prénoms, date et lieu de naissance de chacun des héritiers, légataires ou donataires.

Si la naissance est arrivée hors de France, il est, en outre, justifié de cette date avant l’enregistrement de la déclaration, à défaut de quoi il est perçu les droits les plus élevés qui pourraient être dus au Trésor sauf restitution du trop-perçu comme il est dit à l’article 1965 C.
