What this covers
- Court registries — whether a case exists, its number, its stage, the next hearing, whether a judgment has been given
- Judgments — obtaining a certified copy, and whether it is final (définitif) and enforceable
- Land registry (ANCFCC) — who is on the title, what charges and oppositions are entered, whether a transfer went through
- Commercial register — whether a company exists, who runs it, whether it is in an insolvency procedure
- DGI — the tax position of a company, a property, or an estate
- Police and prosecution — whether a complaint was registered, whether a warrant or travel ban exists against a name
- Civil status offices — whether a marriage, birth or death was ever registered
- Consulates — what a file actually needs, as opposed to what the website says
- CNSS — contribution history for a pension claim
Why this is the first step more often than people expect
Most people arrive with a belief about their situation and no document behind it. A brother "says the house is in his name". A spouse "says the divorce went through". A company "is closed". A complaint "was filed".
Sometimes those are true. Often enough they are not, and the entire strategy changes on the answer. A search costs very little next to a case, and it is the difference between advice and guesswork.
What we can and cannot find out
We can obtain what the registers will disclose to a party or their representative, which generally needs a power of attorney or proof that you are a party. We can tell you what is on a public register.
We cannot obtain somebody else's private records, and we will not try. If what you want requires being a party to a matter you are not party to, the answer is no, and the honest next question is whether there is a lawful route to becoming one.
