Asylum seekers are given an information document on the asylum application procedure, their rights and the obligations they must respect during the procedure, the possible consequences of not respecting their obligations or refusing to cooperate with the authorities, and the means available to help them lodge their application with the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons.
This document also informs them of their rights and obligations with regard to reception conditions, as well as the organisations that provide assistance to asylum seekers.
This information is provided in a language that the asylum seeker understands or can reasonably be expected to understand.
