Article R123-49-1 of the French Commercial code

Where the individual limited liability entrepreneur transfers to the jurisdiction of another court the establishment where the professional activity in respect of which he has made a declaration of assignment of assets is carried on or, in the absence of an establishment, the residential premises where the business is based, he shall indicate, together with his application for new registration, the place and register of his previous registration.

The newly competent registrar shall request, within one clear working day from the date of the new registration, the registrar of the court within whose jurisdiction the activity was previously carried on to proceed, within a period of one working day from the date of the new registration, to the registrar of the court within whose jurisdiction the activity was previously carried on.
Within one clear working day of receipt of the application, the newly competent registrar will ask the registrar of the court within whose jurisdiction the business was previously carried on to transfer the declarations, particulars and documents referred to in the sixth paragraph of Article L. 526-7, within one clear working day of receipt of the application. The previously competent registrar informs the sole trader of this transfer, via the single body mentioned in article R. 123-1. Where applicable, the provisions of the last paragraph of article R. 123-83 are applied.

Lorsque l’entrepreneur individuel à responsabilité limitée transfère dans le ressort d’un autre tribunal l’établissement où est exercée l’activité professionnelle au titre de laquelle il a effectué une déclaration d’affectation de patrimoine ou, à défaut d’établissement, le local d’habitation où l’entreprise est fixée, il indique, conjointement à sa demande de nouvelle immatriculation, le lieu et le registre de son immatriculation antérieure.

Le greffier antérieurement compétent informe, par l’intermédiaire de l’organisme unique mentionné à l’article R. 123-1, l’entrepreneur individuel de ce transfert. Le cas échéant, il est fait application des dispositions du dernier alinéa de l’article R. 123-83.
