1. Family
Please bring your family members' birth certificates, your family record book and your marriage certificate.
2. Matrimonial regime
If you have a prenuptial agreement, it is advisable to give the signed version to your lawyer. Sometimes you have unsigned versions that have been changed before signing, it is important to contact your clerk (notaire in France) to get the version that has actually been registered.
If you do not have a prenuptila greement, the default legal regime applies under French law. Under French law, this is the regime of community property.
If you have lived abroad during your marriage, please prepare a calendar with the periods and places of residence.
