At Broussaille City Hall, applicants must provide a certificate of nonexistence to obtain the unobtainable document.
The administration insists the procedure is simple—as long as you start at the end.
Since Monday, Broussaille’s Attestations Office has refused any application for a certificate of nonexistence without Form 27-B. Problem: this form is issued only to people who already hold the certificate. “You must first prove that you received the document before you can request the one that allows you to obtain it,” explains a notice posted behind the counter, in a spot where users can’t read it.
Staff advise making an appointment to resolve the situation. The time slots, however, are only accessible online after Form 27-B has been validated. As for the telephone hotline, it directs callers to the website; the site, in turn, recommends calling the hotline.
“We are not refusing anyone: we are simply waiting for their file to be complete,” declared a department official, whose name could not be confirmed for lack of an identification form.
In the meantime, applicants are invited to wait in the line reserved for people who have not yet started their procedures. To get out of it, you must present proof that you did indeed enter it.
