Before drawing up bulletin no. 1 for a natural person, the department responsible for the automated national criminal record checks the identity of the person concerned using the information communicated by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies pursuant to Article R. 64. If the result of this examination proves negative, he shall enter in the body of the bulletin, to the exclusion of any other mention, the indication “No applicable identity”.
If the person concerned was born outside mainland France, if his or her place of birth is unknown or if he or she is under twelve years of age, the department will write “Identity not verifiable by the department” on bulletin no. 1.
