French term

acte de nationalité

French to English Law/Patents Law (general)
This term appears in a document that is going to be used at an exhibition on the scientist "Yersin" (19th century). It is just one phrase (with the context following):

"- ACTE DE NATIONALITE française – coll. Musée Yersin

A 26 ans, Yersin demande à prendre la nationalité française qui avait été celle de ses ancêtres"

Does anyone know of an official or "agreed" translation for this term? Thanks very much.

What it refers to is the Act which sets out the rules in relation to those who have the right to a certain nationality. This particular person was applying for nationality in accordance with the conditions of the said Act.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Marion Sadoux : an "act" in English refers to a Law, whereas the word "acte" in French generally refers to a mere certificate
