How to request an extrait at the Burkinabè état civil
The Burkinabè request is the Sahelian Francophone one: the commune of the event, the details, a procuration — and the supplétif when the record was never made. An executor who speaks French and Mooré navigates the counters of the land of upright people.
The kit
- Full name, date, the commune/province of the event.
- The parents; the numéro where there is one.
- The procuration for third parties.
The counter and the fees
Symbolic CFA; days in Ouagadougou/Bobo, weeks in the feasible interior. The supplétif runs at the court under the simplified rite.
