Minors

Please note ! Ofpra does not systematically draw up civil status documents or a family record booklet for minors, especially where they do not benefit from the protection of their parent(s) or the conditions are not met for such documents to be drawn up.

In this case, people under Ofpra's protection may show a foreign birth certificate to the Family Benefits Fund (CAF) so that their children can prove their family connection.

Indeed, Article D 512-2 of the French Social Security Code stipulates in Paragraph 3 that the following must be shown: the family record book issued by Ofpra, or failing that, a birth certificate drawn up, where applicable, by this office when the child is a member of the family of a refugee, a stateless person or a beneficiary subsidiary protection.
