Access Rights
How do I know if you can access an administrative document?
Publié le null - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Civil status documents, cadastre extract, divorce decree, building permit, adoption decree... You are not familiar with archives but you have a one-time need, for an administrative process or personal research, to access a public document. How do you know if you have the right to view the old or newer document you are interested in? The site @docs designed by the Interministerial Service of the Archives de France guides you in your search.
To access this information, visit @docs and choose the theme that concerns you: origins-family-civil status, taxation, justice, health, transport, environment, education, real estate-city planning, public life...
For each type of document listed, @docs tells you:
- whether you have the right to view and reproduce the document;
- if so, what recourse is available if you have been denied access to it;
- if not, what is the process for obtaining access to it?
To give you a quick and simple answer, @docs has translated the complexity of the legal corpus that governs the right of access to public documents. In addition to the general access rights found in the Heritage Code (Book II), @docs has compiled some 400 specific texts governing this regulation.
FYI
This research tool follows on from Christine Nougaret's report, A National Strategy for the Collection and Access to Public Archives in the Digital Age advocating a simplification of the right of access to public information.
