Article D49-22 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

For the application of the provisions of Article 712-9, if the sentenced person has not made a declaration of address to the sentence enforcement judge, the address in the proceedings file is deemed to be their declared address.

The declaration of address or the declaration of a change of address must be made either by declaration to the clerk of the sentence enforcement judge, or by registered letter with a request for acknowledgement of receipt.

When the convicted offender is released, his declared address is the one given to the prison registry when he is released from custody.

Article D49-22

Pour l’application des dispositions de l’article 712-9, si le condamné n’a pas fait de déclaration d’adresse au juge de l’application des peines, l’adresse figurant dans le dossier de la procédure est considérée comme son adresse déclarée.

La déclaration d’adresse ou la déclaration de changement d’adresse doit se faire soit par déclaration auprès du greffier du juge de l’application des peines, soit par lettre recommandée avec demande d’accusé de réception.

Lorsque le condamné est libéré, son adresse déclarée est celle donnée au greffe de l’établissement pénitentiaire au moment de sa levée d’écrou.
