Fichier des personnes recherchées

Fichier des personnes recherchées (File of Wanted People), or FPR, is a French database of criminals and wanted people run by the French Interior Ministry and used by the national police and other law enforcement agencies in France.

About

The FPR began as a paper filing system in 1969, and it included criminals ranging from mafia members to escaped prisoners.[1] The file is also consulted during applications for a national identity card, a passport, a residency card of a visa.[2]

In 1995, the FPR was expanded to include missing people and abducted children.[3]

Each file contains:[2]

  • identity of the person sought;
  • physical description and photograph if available;
  • reason for the search;
  • instructions in case a wanted person is discovered.

The FPR contained 620,000 records as of 14 November 2018.[2][4]
