Birth Certificate
"Dressé le 15 juillet 1997, à 10 heures 55 minutes, sur la declaration du père qui, lecture faite et invite à lire l'acte, a signé avec nous XXXXX, fonctionnaire municipal délégué dans les fonctions d'état civil par le Maire du quatorzième arrondissement de Paris. CP."
Does anyone know what *CP* means at the end of this paragraph on a birth certificate?
I have found certificat pratique, certificat provisoire, and circonscription de Paris, but I don't know if any of them apply here.
Thanks

Initials of a person
I have often come across initials at the end of birth certificates. They appear to be totally random. I assume they refer to the initials of a person, possibly the person in the Registry Office who has checked the entry of their colleague.

Well, it seems odd, but that's what you'd usualyl expect to appear in this position!
Is this a hand-written or printed document? If it was word-processed, it is perfectly possible that 'CP' was the placeholder used in the document template, and the writer simply omitted to fill it in.

In that case, I wouldn't be at all surprised; it's the sort of slip that happens all the time with template dcouments ;-)

Note from asker:
| It is a printed document and I typed it exactly the way it appears. You could very well be right. Thanks |
