The certificate of nationality indicates, with reference to Chapters II, III, IV and VII of this Title, the legal provision by virtue of which the person concerned has the status of French national, as well as the documents which made it possible to establish this. It is authentic until proven otherwise.
For the establishment of a certificate of nationality, the director of the judicial registry services of the judicial court may presume, in the absence of other elements, that the civil status records drawn up abroad and which are produced before him have the effects that French law would have attached to them.
