Bulletin no. 1 is requested from the magistrate in charge of the automated national criminal record by letter, telegram, fax, teletransmission or magnetic medium, indicating the civil status of the person whose bulletin is requested, and specifying the requesting judicial authority.
If the person whose bulletin is requested is a legal entity, the request must include an indication of its name, its registration in the Répertoire national des entreprises et des établissements and its registered office. Where the legal entity is not registered, proof of its identity must be attached to the request.
On the instructions of the requesting judicial authority, bulletin no. 1 is issued in duplicate.
