The High Council checks that the candidate meets the conditions required for registration. The High Council or its delegate collects all relevant information on the candidate and requests the bulletin no. 2 of the criminal record.
It may summon the candidate to attend a hearing.
Where, at the date of application for registration, the candidate is in one of the cases of incompatibility provided for in article L. 822-10, registration may be decided subject to the suspensive condition that the situation is regularised within six months. The interested party must provide the Haut Conseil with proof that the incompatibility has been lifted.
