Question 15443 — overseas

Summary

Mr. Moerani Frébault draws the attention of Mr. Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the serious dysfunctions encountered by people born in French Polynesia in their efforts to obtain a criminal record extract (bulletin no. 3). Since October 4, 2022, following the entry into force of Decree No. 2022-1135 of August 5, 2022, requests for criminal records from people born in French Polynesia are now centralized with the national criminal record in Nantes, putting an end to the local delivery previously provided by the court of first instance in Papeete. However, many users have since encountered automatic rejection of their requests, due to a national directory of places of birth that is manifestly incomplete or unsuitable for Polynesian administrative realities. Several municipalities or birthplaces in Polynesia French would not be properly integrated into national bases, notably Hanavave, Omoa, Fatu Hiva, Apataki, Mangareva or even Mataiea. This situation results in the impossibility of making certain requests online, inconsistencies between local civil status data and national databases, long and complex paper procedures and abnormally long delays in obtaining a bulletin no. 3. The consequences are particularly burdensome for the citizens concerned, with blockages in procedures linked to employment, training, administrative approvals and even voluntary activities. A concrete case notably led to the blocking for more than five months of the renewal of an approval with the employment, training and professional integration service (SEFI) in French Polynesia, preventing the continuation of training intended particularly to people with disabilities, employees and volunteers. The various exchanges initiated locally seem to converge towards a technical and structural problem falling under exclusively national competence, requiring intervention by the Ministry of Justice in order to update and harmonize the databases used by the national criminal record and the systems linked to civil status. Consequently, he asks him what measures the Government intends to take in order to quickly correct the dysfunctions affecting places of birth in French Polynesia in the national bases; when could complete harmonization of Polynesian civil status data with national systems take place; and finally, if transitional measures are considered in order to guarantee Polynesian citizens normal and rapid access to their criminal record extracts.
