Back 9. How do I submit a request for information?

Some elements are compulsory:

  • The authority making the request must indicate as precisely as possible the points on which information concerning the law of the requested state is sought.
  • The facts of the case must be set out as precisely as possible.
  • The name of the authority making the request must be provided.
  • If the request is not made by a judicial authority, the decision authorising it must be attached.

Copies of documents may also be attached to the request to make it easier for the requested authority to understand the issue at hand (contract, civil status certificate, expert's report, etc.).
