541.35. The steps necessary for the recognition of an act of birth drawn up by a foreign authority or of a decision establishing filiation rendered abroad shall be undertaken by the person alone or the spouses who formed a parental project as soon as possible after they receive the certificate of compliance from the Minister of Health and Social Services or a notice of the Minister’s refusal to issue the certificate.
If the steps for recognition are not undertaken or completed within a reasonable time, the director of youth protection may, at the request of the Minister of Health and Social Services, take, in the place and stead of the person alone or the spouses who formed the parental project, all necessary measures to undertake or complete those steps or put an end to them.
