All French citizens were required to provide a written statement, under oath, that they were not....

Explanation:
I'm sure they did not all provide the statement, but the requirement existed. This occured in the past, so you cannot say "should" = "should" is the present tense.

Also cannot "fill out" a statement, but we "fill out" a form, or provide a statement.

Desde que deviam "preencher", se sabe que era declaracao por escrito, portanto written statement e' uma traducao vAlida.

Sorte!
