Article 313

On making its decision in favor of the applicant, the court shall, where the applicant so requires, provide him with a dated and signed certificate stating in a concise form the contents of such decision.

The provisions of the preceding sub-Article shall apply in matters concerning change of name, refusal to draw up records or to celebrate a marriage, prior permission to sue, withdrawal of interdiction, opposition to marriage, widowhood as well as in cases of applications to consult or to be issued with certain powers or documents or to be authorized to depart from certain instructions.

Where an application is made for the correction or cancellation of records or entries in registers or for approval or confirmation or registration or certification, the court may, without further proceedings, but after having ordered such investigation as may be necessary, give such directions as are appropriate in the circumstances, or issue a certificate evidencing approval, registration or certification or endorse the fact of approval, registration or certification on the relevant document, as the case may be, together with the date and number thereof, where appropriate.
