Article 55

De la Rectification des Actes civils

Civil Administration
Titre III: Des Actes de l'État civil (On Civil Status Records)
Chapitre V: De la Rectification des Actes civils (On the Rectification of Civil Records)

Les renvois et ratures doivent être approuvés et signés de la même manière que le corps de l'acte. Rien ne doit être écrit par abréviation, ni aucune date mise en chiffres.

Life lesson: Every correction must carry the same weight as the original. Abbreviations invite error; numerals invite fraud. Write everything out, fully and completely.
Notes: Anti-fraud formatting rules: corrections require the same signatures as the original, no abbreviations permitted, all dates must be spelled out in words (not numerals). These provisions dramatically reduce opportunities for post-hoc tampering.
