Article D571 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

When free, the person sentenced to a residence ban is required to notify the public prosecutor at the court that handed down the sentence, of the place where he or she has fixed his or her residence. If they are detained, they must notify the prison registry when they are released. The head of the prison will then immediately inform the Public Prosecutor’s Office at the court that handed down the sentence.

Article D571

Lorsqu’elle est libre, la personne condamnée à l’interdiction de séjour est tenue d’aviser le ministère public près la juridiction qui a prononcé la condamnation, du lieu où elle fixe sa résidence. Lorsqu’elle est détenue, elle doit en aviser, lors de sa libération, le greffe de l’établissement pénitentiaire. Le chef de l’établissement pénitentiaire en informe alors immédiatement le ministère public près la juridiction qui a prononcé la condamnation.
