The Civil Registry Records Act of 28 November 2014 introduced new solutions to the invalidation and determination of a content of a civil record. Article 39 sec. 2 of the Act grants the court hearing a case for invalidation of a civil status record the power to decide on its initiative to replace the invalidated record with the new one. If the court exercises this power, it is obliged to determine the content of the new record by Article 40 in principio of the Civil Registry Records Act. The decision to invalidate the previous record does not have to become final and binding in advance. Proceedings for invalidation of a flawed civil status record that records an actual event (i.e., birth, marriage, or death) should not end without determination of a new record.
