"Permis De Vivre Valable Un An" (English: Permit to live valid one year) is a faux governmental form giving its holder a right to live for one year. The form was published as part of the Green Box and later appeared in the Encyclopaedia Da Costa.
Excerpt:
- I. Le Permis de Vivre n'est délivré que pour un an et il n'est valable que s'il porte le poinçon de contrôle pour le mois en cour.?. La délivrance d'un Permis ne signifie pas nécessairement qu'il sera validé lors des vérifications
It was perhaps the most insolent entry in the Da Costa encyclopédique. The document requested vital statistics from the bearer in order to enforce its legal fiat; the penalty for failing to keep the document "in order" was death.
