Revision boards were instituted on August 29, 1805. In each département, a conseil de révision was set up, comprising the prefect, representatives of the conseil général and the conseil d'arrondissement, and a general or senior officer. The council visited the various cantons. It was assisted by a member of the intendance, the recruitment commander and a medical officer. For each canton, a recruitment list was drawn up, showing conscripts who were fit for service, those who had volunteered, those who had been exempted and those who had been deferred. From this list, the recruitment commander drew up the matriculation registers.

Les conseils de révision furent institués le 29 août 1805. Dans chaque département siégeait un conseil de révision composé du préfet, de représentants du conseil général et du conseil d'arrondissement, d'un officier général ou supérieur. Le conseil se déplaçait dans les différents cantons. Il était assisté d'un membre de l'intendance, du commandant du recrutement et d'un médecin militaire. Pour chaque canton, était dressée une liste du recrutement indiquant les conscrits bons pour le service, les engagés volontaires, les dispensés et les ajournés. Le commandant de recrutement dressait les registres matricules à partir de cette liste.
