Example: a London-based director’s declaration for a new French SAS
Oliver Sample lives in London and will be président of a small SAS being registered in France. The filing asks each director for a declaration of no conviction with his parents’ names. He fills in the form in English; the declaration comes out in French on one A4 page.
| Field | What he types | What the paper says |
|---|---|---|
| Name, birth | Oliver Sample, 9 February 1979, Bristol (Royaume-Uni) | Je soussigné(e) Oliver Sample, né(e) le 9 février 1979 à Bristol (Royaume-Uni), |
| Address | 12 Sample Road, London N1 1AA, Royaume-Uni | demeurant 12 Sample Road, London N1 1AA, Royaume-Uni, |

The page ends with “Fait pour servir et valoir ce que de droit.”, the signature space with his name, and the article 441-7 reminder at the foot. He signs it by hand, scans it and attaches it to the filing on the guichet unique.

Frequently asked questions
- Who needs it?
- Every director (gérant, président, directeur général) when a company is registered or a new director appointed, and a sole trader registering a commercial business.
- Why the parents’ names?
- The registry uses them to request the director’s criminal record extract.
- Does it have to be in French?
- Yes: it is handed in to a French office, so the paper is in French. This page’s form is in English; anything you type into the free-text box should be in French.
- What if it is false?
- Article 441-7 of the French penal code punishes a statement of facts known to be untrue with up to a year in prison and a €15,000 fine. The paper says so at the foot.
- What does the declaration say in English?
- “I, the undersigned [name], born on [date] in [place], living at [address], son or daughter of [father] and [mother], declare on my honour that I have not been the subject of any criminal conviction, nor of any civil or administrative penalty, such as to bar me from carrying on a commercial activity or from managing, administering or directing a legal entity.” Then the place, the date and your signature.
- I live outside France. What do I enter?
- Your address abroad as it is written there, with the country (Royaume-Uni, États-Unis…), and as the town where it is signed, the place you sign it, such as Londres. Names are printed exactly as typed, so you can put the surname first, as French forms often do.
- Is what I type uploaded?
- No. The PDF is made in your browser and nothing you type leaves your device. Nothing of ours is printed on the paper.
