The court orders the change of forenames in the civil status records of the spouses, and, where applicable, the children, after noting the consent of the interested parties or their legal representatives.
The person whose civil status is in question or his or her legal representative may be heard.
The beneficiary of the change of forename may also apply for this change, subsequent to the court’s decision, to the public prosecutor at the said court.
This application shall be accompanied by the operative part of the decision that has become final and the documents containing the required consents.
The spouse, the child of full age or the legal representative of the minor child, may, under the same conditions, apply to the public prosecutor for the amendment of only those records that concern them subsequent to the court’s decision.
In all cases, the public prosecutor shall order the change of forenames to be affixed to the records concerned and shall send the documents mentioned in the previous paragraph to the civil registrar holding the said records to be appended to them.
