Senegalese extrait: which one to request
The Senegalese choice is the French one: the extrait for the standard, the copie littérale for the complete text (the mentions!), the AOF holdings for the continental roots. The inherited and well-kept menu.
The formats
- The extrait de naissance — the standard that travels.
- The copie littérale — the text with mentions.
- The colonial and religious holdings — the roots.
The typical package
Extrait/littérale + chain + sworn French translation. The numéro noted down; the batch in a single chain.
Frequently asked questions
Littérale or extrait for abroad?+
The littérale when the chain asks for the text (filiations, mentions) — the extrait covers the rest. The classic French pair.
Wolof-French spellings?+
They vary across eras (Ndiaye/N'Diaye...) — the note in the sworn translation ties the variants together.
