# Verification record — `fr/ants/passport-application-first-adult` v1.0.0 This file is the **source-review record** for this document version, per the [`manual-source-review-v1`](../../../../../practices/manual-source-review-v1.md) practice. It documents the provenance of the published fields and flow and states the current verification claim honestly. ## Current claim - **`status`:** `draft` - **`verification.method`:** `manual-source-review-v1` - **`verification.lastVerifiedAt`:** `2026-07-03` The document was derived from the publisher's own live process guidance and the official Cerfa form's printed field set and instructional tooltips, but the online submission channel that now processes the majority of these requests (ANTS's pré-demande service) sits behind an authenticated account this review could not reach — so the practice's field-by-field comparison against a *live* screen set has not been completed. It therefore remains `draft`, not `verified`. ## Sources examined - **Document `(id, version)`:** `fr/ants/passport-application-first-adult` / `1.0.0` - **Spec version:** GovSchema `0.3.0` - **Authority:** Agence Nationale des Titres Sécurisés (ANTS), the operator of the online pré-demande and passport-manufacturing system, under the Ministère de l'Intérieur et des Outre-mer, which is legally responsible for the passport itself; applications are lodged at any passport-equipped mairie (or a French embassy/consulate abroad), not at ANTS directly. - **Process guidance:** — "Passeport d'un majeur : première demande", fetched live (curl, raw HTML, HTTP 200, no block), 2026-07-03. Last verified by the publisher per the page footer: "Vérifié le 08 avril 2026 — Service Public / Direction de l'information légale et administrative (Premier ministre), Ministère chargé de l'intérieur". Confirms: the branching document requirements by identity- card status (valid / expired under 5 years / expired over 5 years / none), the identity-photo and proof-of-address freshness windows (6 months, 1 year), the fiscal-stamp fee (86 EUR mainland / 43 EUR Guyane), the two submission channels (in France vs. abroad), and the pré-demande-vs-counter- form branch ("Si vous avez fait la pré-demande, le numéro et/ou QR code obtenus, si vous n'avez pas fait de pré-demande, vous devrez remplir et signer le formulaire qui vous sera remis au guichet"). - **Primary form source:** Cerfa **12100\*02**, "Demande de passeport" — historically the paper form completed at a mairie/prefecture counter, and the same underlying état-civil field set the online pré-demande collects. service-public.fr's own dedicated online-form endpoint for this Cerfa number (`formulaires.service-public.fr/gf/cerfa_12100.do`) now returns "Le formulaire que vous demandez n'existe pas" (retired), and the once-linked direct download at a French consulate site (`washington.consulfrance.org`) now redirects to an unrelated page — both expected, since service-public.fr's own guidance page confirms the process has moved to ANTS's online pré-demande. The form's field content was instead retrieved from a long-established third-party fillable-PDF mirror (`ec.ccm2.net`, hosting a file from `commentcamarche.net` / droit-finances, a well-known French consumer-law reference site), and its form number/edition/section-structure cross-checked against two independent descriptive sources, `juristique.org` ("Cerfa 12100\*02 : passeport pour une personne majeur", confirms form number, the Ministère de l'Intérieur et des Outre-mer as the issuing administration, and the form's two-part structure — état civil, then attestation sur l'honneur/date/lieu/signature) and `documentissime.fr` (same form identified independently). A third mirror (`igon.fr/.../Cerfa-CNI-Passeports-12101-02-Majeur.pdf`) was also retrieved but discarded: it is Cerfa 12101\*02, the **minor's** identity- card/passport form, not this one, and it carried no text layer or annotations to cross-check against. - **PDF extraction method:** the retrieved PDF is a scanned/rasterised form (`getTextContent()` returns no text on either page) with an AcroForm/XFA overlay of fillable widgets added by the third-party site — a fourth distinct PDF shape in this registry, after the no-AcroForm static case (AU NAT 2541, DE ESt 1 A, this schema's sibling FR Cerfa 13750), the dynamic-XFA case (DGT i-Kfz), and the has-AcroForm-shell-but-empty-Fields case (DE ESt 1 A). Field content was extracted via `pdfjs-dist`'s `getAnnotations()`, which exposed each widget's `alternativeText` (an applicant-facing tooltip quoting the form's own instructional text verbatim) and, for radio-button groups, coordinates and numeric export values. Every collected field's `sourceRef` quotes the widget's own tooltip text directly. - **What was deliberately left unmodeled** (present on the source PDF but not captured as a `fields[]` or `documents[]` entry, because the extracted metadata could not confirm their printed option labels and no OCR tool was available in this sandbox to read the underlying scanned image): - `CasesTypeDemande` — a single checkbox near the top margin of page 1, positioned like an administrative-use marking rather than an applicant-facing field; not modelled. - `CasesNation` — an 11-checkbox group (two columns), most likely a checklist of accepted nationality-justification document types; too ambiguous to model as a single field without guessing the option set. - `CasesMot1` / `CasesMot2` — two 2-option checkbox pairs immediately below the usage-name-origin checkboxes; purpose not confirmed. - `Champ_de_texte1` through `Champ_de_texte6` and `pref1` (likely the destination préfecture, but the widget's own tooltip is just the literal string "pref1", i.e. never relabelled by the third-party editor) — seven generic, unrelabelled text boxes whose content could not be determined from the extracted metadata alone. Separately, the widget named `Couleur2` carries the tooltip "Numéro de téléphone portable" (mobile phone) rather than anything colour-related — clear evidence the third-party editor recycled/mislabelled internal widget names from a template — so this schema's `mobilePhone` field is sourced from the differently-named `Tel` widget's own longer tooltip instead, which describes the same mobile-phone purpose in full sentences. - `Champ_image1` / `Champ_image2` / `Champ_image3` — image-attachment placeholders, most likely the applicant photo and signature; represented instead at the coarser `documents[]` grain (`identityPhoto`, `signature`), consistent with how photo/signature requirements are modelled elsewhere in this registry. - **Requiredness not independently confirmed:** the filiation block (both parents' family name, given names, date of birth, place of birth, and nationality) is present on the source form with the same field-level detail as the applicant's own état-civil block, but the extracted widget metadata carries no explicit required/optional marking. Rather than assume it is mandatory for an adult applicant (French administrative identity forms have historically collected filiation for all applicants, but this specific Cerfa edition's requiredness was not independently confirmed), all ten filiation fields are modelled `required: false`. - **Height field:** modelled as `type: number` (meters) even though the form's own printed example uses a French-locale comma decimal ("1,20 m"); the semantic value is a plain decimal, and the comma-formatting detail is carried in the field's `description` instead of asserted as a `validation` constraint. - **Guyane fiscal-stamp exception:** service-public.fr states the fee is 43 EUR in Guyane versus 86 EUR elsewhere. The `fiscalStamp` document models only the mainland amount (86 EUR); the Guyane variant is noted in `sourceRef` prose rather than a second `documents[]` entry or a jurisdiction-conditional amount, since the spec's `amount` shape does not currently support a conditional value. - **Attestation wording not sourced verbatim:** the exact French legal text of the signed declaration ("Fait à ... le ... Signature") was not recovered from the extracted metadata, so the `signature` document entry omits the optional `statement` field rather than paraphrase it. - **Live online channel identified but not reached:** `predemande-passeport.ants.gouv.fr` (ANTS's pré-demande portal) requires an authenticated account this review could not reach, and `demarches.interieur.gouv.fr`'s own "comment remplir le formulaire" guidance page returned a connection-level failure (`TLSV1_ALERT_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME`) from this sandbox with no Wayback Machine snapshot available as a fallback — both are honest gaps, not silently glossed over. - **Companion candidates left for a future cycle:** service-public.fr splits this same underlying Cerfa 12100\*02 field set into separate fiches by situation — "Renouvellement" (F21091), "Passeport perdu" (F21246), "Passeport volé" (F21247) — mirroring the first-adult/renewal-adult schema pairs already published for AU, CA, GB, and IE. This document is scoped to the first-time case only, matching that naming convention (`passport-application-first-adult`); a renewal companion is a natural next candidate and would reuse most of this field set. ## Scope Out of scope for this version: the minor's passport process (a separate Cerfa 12101\*02 form and separate service-public.fr fiches), renewal/lost/ stolen passeport situations, and the online pré-demande portal's own screen-by-screen flow.
