# Verification record — `fr/inpi/micro-entrepreneur-activity-declaration` 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 retired paper form's genuine fillable-field set, but the online submission channel that now exclusively processes these requests (INPI's guichet unique) sits behind an authenticated FranceConnect+/INPI Connect 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/inpi/micro-entrepreneur-activity-declaration` / `1.0.0` - **Spec version:** GovSchema `0.3.0` - **Authority:** Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle (INPI), which has operated the single national business-formalities window (guichet unique) since 1 January 2023 (exclusively since 1 January 2025), superseding the prior form-specific Centre de Formalités des Entreprises (CFE) network that this Cerfa's own header still references ("RESERVE AU CFE"). - **Process guidance:** , fetched live 2026-07-03. Confirms the online process now collects: an identity section; an optional composition/representatives section; primary-residence-protection status; établissement location and activity classification; an internet domain name if applicable; and fiscal-payment- frequency options — matching this Cerfa's own cadre structure closely enough to use the Cerfa's field-level detail as the authoritative source for what the online form collects field-by-field, per the same "retired paper form as field-set proxy" technique used for `fr/ants/passport-application-first-adult` and `fr/ants/national-identity-card-application-first-adult`. - **Supporting-documents list:** cross-checked across several independent descriptive sources (lecoindesentrepreneurs.fr, legalstart.fr, entreprises.cci-paris-idf.fr) since INPI's own page does not itself enumerate them (it says only that "les pièces justificatives ... dépendent des informations renseignées"). All independently agree on: a copy of the applicant's identity document (bearing its own handwritten attestation of conformity, dated and signed), proof of occupancy of the professional address (< 3 months old), a sworn declaration of non-conviction, and a filiation attestation. - **Primary form source:** Cerfa **15253\*05**, "Déclaration de début d'activité commerciale et/ou artisanale — P0 CMB micro-entrepreneur" — retired since the guichet unique went exclusive, retrieved from a third-party fillable-form mirror (`cerfa.vos-demarches.com`). A more current edition (15253\*08, per search-result cross-references) exists but was not independently retrieved; the underlying cadre structure between editions of a French Cerfa form is normally stable, but this is a gap worth closing in a future revision — see "Known gaps" below. - **PDF extraction method:** unlike the scanned CNI Cerfa (12100\*03) and most other retired FR Cerfa forms in this registry, this PDF carries a genuine fillable AcroForm layer with real printed text underneath — `pdfjs-dist`'s `getTextContent()` returned the full instructional text of every cadre, and `getAnnotations()` independently returned each fillable field's internal name (e.g. `NOM DE NAISSANCE`, `Nationalité`, `VOTRE N° DE SECURITE SOCIALE`), which closely echo the printed labels and corroborate which cadre each field belongs to. No tooltip (`alternativeText`) is present on most fields, so `sourceRef`s quote the printed cadre text (from `getTextContent()`) rather than a widget tooltip. The PDF's 4 pages are two duplicate copies of the same 2-page form (a declarant copy and a CFE copy), confirmed by identical field names/ `rect` coordinates recurring on pages 3–4. - **Deliberately out of scope for this version** (present on the source Cerfa's 21 cadres but not modelled, because they are low-frequency edge cases the guichet-unique's own summary description does not surface as core to the common case): - Cadre 2A/2B (EIRL — entrepreneur individuel à responsabilité limitée): this status was superseded for new registrations by the unified 2022 EI reform (automatic patrimoine separation without an EIRL election), so modelling it would describe a defunct choice. - Cadre 5 (déclaration(s) d'insaisissabilité de bien(s) foncier(s)): a multi-part real-estate-unseizability declaration/renunciation mechanism; only a coarse eligibility signal would be defensible without the source's own worked examples, so it is left out entirely rather than half-modelled. - Cadre 6 (autre(s) établissement(s) dans un autre État de l'UE/EEE): requires a separate P0' intercalaire annex not retrieved. - Cadre 8's "précédent exploitant" / cadre 14 (personne ayant le pouvoir d'engager l'établissement, propriétaire indivis) fields, relevant only to `originOfBusiness` values other than `creation` (leasehold management, management mandate, purchase/partition/auction): the `originOfBusiness` enum itself is modelled so an agent can detect these cases, but their follow-on prior-operator detail fields are not. - Cadre 18 (correspondence address, if different from the fields already captured) and the spouse's own health-coverage/social-security-number sub-question under cadre 15: both low-frequency refinements layered on top of already-modelled fields. - **Requiredness not independently confirmed:** the source PDF's own instructional banner states "Remplir dans tous les cas les cadres N° 1, 3, 4, 8, 10, 12, 13, 16, 17, 19" (cadres to complete in every case) and lists which further cadres are conditional "selon votre situation" — this schema's `required`/`requiredWhen` structure follows that banner's cadre-level guidance, but individual field-level requiredness *within* each cadre (e.g. whether `pseudonym` or `signName` are ever mandatory) was not separately confirmed and defaults to `false` where the printed text gives no explicit cue. ## Test run (mock data) Two mock scenarios were run against this schema version's `required`/ `requiredWhen`/`visibleWhen` gating logic with the same standalone validator script used for `fr/ants/national-identity-card-application-first-adult` (not committed — mirrors the checks `tools/validate.mjs` and `tools/validate-ajv.mjs` already run structurally): 1. A first-time EU-national micro-entrepreneur working from home, no employees, no spouse in the business — confirms the "home address" / EU-national / no-employee branches correctly skip every conditional field. Committed as this version's `conformance/.../application-packet.json` fixture. 2. A non-EU-national ambulant market trader with a spouse collaborator, hiring a first employee, and an in-store retail sideline — exercises every conditional branch simultaneously (`marketPostalCode`/ `marketCommune`, `spouseFamilyName`/`spouseGivenNames`, `employeeCount`/ `isHiringFirstEmployee`, `retailStoreSurfaceM2`, `residencePermitNumber`/ `residencePermitIssuedAt`/`residencePermitExpiringOn`, `simultaneousActivityType`). A deliberately broken variant (with `residencePermitNumber` omitted) correctly **failed** with `MISSING required field: residencePermitNumber`, confirming the gate fires; restoring the field passed. Not committed as a fixture (single- packet-per-version convention), but recorded here as the branch coverage this version's conditional logic received. Both `tools/validate.mjs` and `tools/validate-ajv.mjs` (full JSON Schema 2020-12 meta-schema, ajv) pass for this document. ## Known gaps / future work - Confirm the current Cerfa edition (15253\*08 per secondary sources, vs. \*05 used here) and re-diff field-by-field before promoting to `verified`. - Reach the live guichet-unique screen flow (requires a FranceConnect+ or INPI Connect account) to confirm this schema's field set and gating match the actual online experience, not just the retired paper proxy. - A liberal-profession sibling (P0 PL, Cerfa 13821) and a commercial-agent sibling (AC0, Cerfa 13847) are natural next candidates, mirroring this schema's structure. ## Scope Out of scope for this version: EIRL election, liberal-profession and commercial-agent micro-entrepreneur variants, company-formation (non-sole- trader) business formation in France, and the cadre-5/6/14/18 edge cases listed above.
