Malian extrait: which one to request
The Malian choice: the extrait for those registered, the supplétif for everyone else, and — the trump card for roots — the AOF holdings in DAKAR when the north cannot be reached. The Sahelian menu with its alternative exit.
The formats
- The extrait de naissance — the Francophone standard.
- The jugement supplétif — the commonplace institution.
- The AOF holdings — the Dakar route for roots.
The typical package
Document plus chain plus French sworn translation. The numéro noted; the batch on a single chain.
Frequently asked questions
Bambara-French spellings?+
They vary across eras (Traoré/Traore and so on) — the note ties them together. The Sahel's standard.
Does the Dakar route really work?+
For the colonial holdings, yes — the AOF centralised them. The creative search that spares you the difficult map.
