Persons for whom records have been drawn up pursuant to articles 98 to 98-2 lose the right to request transcription of their birth or marriage record received by a foreign authority.

In the event of a disagreement between the statements in the foreign civil status record or the French consular civil status record and those in the record drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the said articles, the latter will be authentic until a rectification decision is made.
