9. The Minister of Justice may also appoint a commissioner to replace any deteriorated duplicate of a register of civil status or of a volume of such register, by making an exact copy thereof from such entries as he can decipher in the deteriorated register or volume, from those in the other duplicate and, where necessary, from such information and documents as he can obtain elsewhere.

When he has completed such work, he shall inscribe, on the first leaf of the new duplicate, a certificate attesting that the same is an exact copy of the deteriorated duplicate, identifying the latter in the manner provided, mutatismutandis in section 7; he shall then affix his signature at the foot of such certificate.

The deteriorated register or volume must nevertheless be preserved by the depositary thereof for subsequent consultation and reference.
