certificate of French nationality,naturalization decree, declaration of the acquisition of French nationality?

Question

Please can anybody with knowledge of France explain to me the difference in the following terms:a certificate of French nationality, a naturalization decree, a declaration of the acquisition of French nationality

Answer 1

1. A certificate of French nationality has to be issued by a court. It is available to people born outside France who claim filiation, i.e. establish a right to citizenship through a French parent .

2. A naturalisation decree can be issued by a judge or a consul in the case of a foreigner or stateless person marrying a French national.

3. A declaration of the acquisition of French citizenship is something for which foreigners can apply when they have been resident in France for at least five years. As the result of obtaining this, their children too are French.

That is how I understand it, anyway.

Answer 2

Answer 4
