Sir,
You have not mentioned the place of birth of your father, He was a minor aged about 3 years in 1962, If your grand father and father were french nationals born in French India,the grand father will lose his french nastionality snd become Indin in default of option and your father will become also India,.As a minor he could not maske the declaration of option. But your grand father was given the task of making option on behaslf ofthe minor son. Please not be content with this reply. I advise you to consult a french advocate with your papers, Yours sincerely

Civil Marriage Procedures
Dear Sir,

My name is Selvaraj. I am from Pondicherry. Since 2 years I am living and working in France. I am holding "Titre de séjour" 1 year card which is renewable each year. This year I am planning to marry during September. My fiancé is also from Pondicherry but right now she is working in Bangalore. After my declaration marriage I am also planning to do registration marriage. So that I can apply for visa for her. Since I heared that there are two types of registration marriage. Where one with registrar and another one in Pondicherry marie. But am not sure whether both has same value or not. I am also not sure which one will help me to apply for visa for my fiancé. I would also like to know the procedure and the documents needed for the same.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Selvaraj

Madam,
To claim for the certificate of french nationality, you have to prove the following,
- your father was a french national. If so, he should have given in writing to the French cosul general in Podicherry his declaration of option to conserve the french nationality. This is required by .the Franco- Indian treaty of 1956 which came into force on 16.8.1962 and
- your mother was a french nastional. If so she is
exempted by the said treaty,to make option delcaration, as born in Tamil Nadu.
The date of marriage of your parents and your date and place of birth are not given,
If you are really interested in getting CNF, please
consul an advocate knowing the subject of fdrench nastionality, Your sincerely

Pleqse find below the english translation of the article 30-3 of civil code.
« when an individual resides or has resided at abroad, where the ancestors of whom he holds by filiation the nationality had fixed residence during more than half a century, this individual won't be admitted to adduce evidence that he has by filiation, the French nationality if himself and the one of his/her father and mother who were susceptible to transmit it to him didn't have the possession of French status."
