How to request an extrait at the Burundian état civil
The Burundian request is the compact Franco-Belgian one: the commune of the event, the details, a procuration for third parties — and the supplétif when the record was never made. An executor who speaks French and Kirundi navigates the counters.
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
Modest Burundian francs; days in Bujumbura, weeks in the interior. The supplétif runs at the tribunal de résidence.
