Article L582-7 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

Unless there are compelling reasons of national security or public order, a foreign national who is recognised as stateless and holds a valid residence permit may be issued with a travel document known as a “stateless person’s travel document” authorising them to travel outside French territory. It may be withdrawn or its renewal refused where it appears, after it has been issued, that this is justified by imperative reasons of national security or public order.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L582-7


A moins que des raisons impérieuses de sécurité nationale ou d’ordre public ne s’y opposent, l’étranger reconnu apatride et titulaire d’un titre de séjour en cours de validité peut se voir délivrer un document de voyage dénommé ” titre de voyage pour apatride ” l’autorisant à voyager hors du territoire français.
La durée de validité de ce document de voyage est fixée au IV de l’article 953 du code général des impôts.
Il peut être retiré ou son renouvellement refusé lorsqu’il apparaît, après sa délivrance, que des raisons impérieuses de sécurité nationale ou d’ordre public le justifient.
