Loire-Atlantique. the astonishing story of a woman married without her knowledge due to an administrative error

The story is strange, to say the least. It started last summer with one of the strangest administrative moves yet: an ID renewal. The woman behind this procedure, a resident of Saint-Nazaire (Loire-Atlantique), then goes to the town hall to complete the usual formalities, as explained: Western France A few days ago. He leaves thinking that he will get the new document soon. Loss of time. after waiting a few weeks nothing works. The reason for this delay will leave him speechless.

He learns that the block is caused by a reference added to the birth certificate. Reference is made to a marriage… that never happened. However, everything is written there in black and white: the date, place and even the identity of the supposed husband. The ceremony would take place on February 14, 2009 in Gerand. As for the “lucky one”, he does exist, but he lives in the Pyrenees-Orientales. It is completely foreign to the Pentecostals, who therefore appear in the eyes of the administration to be married without their knowledge.

Since then, he explains to the regional daily that he is living an administrative nightmare. Not having an identity document would prevent him from having certain procedures and would complicate access to care. For its part, the municipality of Saint-Nezaire does not establish contact. He realizes his mistake. “This is an incorrect entry in a person’s birth certificate after receiving an application to post a marriage note sent by another municipality in 2009.He says Figaro.

Error recognized but not recovered

“Mistakes can happen”adds the municipality that causes a “Very low percentage” errors, of the order of less than 2% “compared to the number of documents given”.. If the municipality of Saint-Nezaire recognizes an administrative error, it cannot correct it on its own. Amazing, again and again. In such a situation, the fault of the administrative procedure should be respected. It is necessary that the person concerned about the error expresses his intention to restore the truth.

“A person submits a request for correction in writing or using an ad hoc CERFA with supporting documentation or explanations. Depending on the situation, either the CCA officer is competent and he makes the correction, or he is not and arrests the prosecutor. The fix is ​​fast.”, says the municipality. Another problem is that the resident has not yet expressed her desire to see the situation corrected.

“During the exchange, this summer, he mentioned that he wanted to ‘do legal checks.’ We have not been contacted since. “The CCA officer tried several times to contact the person, unsuccessfully.”, explains the municipality. A real stunner, which, therefore, does not yet have its conclusion at the moment.
