Similarly, an act in lieu of a marriage record is drawn up when the person acquiring or recovering French nationality has previously contracted marriage abroad, unless the celebration of the marriage has already been recorded by an act entered in a register kept by a French authority.
The record states:
– the date and place of the celebration;
– an indication of the authority that performed it;
– the surnames, forenames, dates and places of birth of each of the spouses;
– the filiation of the spouses;
– as well as, if applicable, the name, capacity and residence of the authority that received the marriage contract.
