How to request an extrait at the Senegalese état civil
The Senegalese request is the classic French one: the event's commune, the details (the registre's numéro when the family keeps it), the procuration for third parties. The Sahelian counter is cordial — and paper, sovereign.
The kit
- Full name, date, the commune of the event.
- The parents; the acte's numéro when there is one.
- The procuration for third parties — notarial or consular.
The counter and the fees
Symbolic CFA francs; days in Dakar, weeks in the interior. The fiscal timbres are bought separately — the usual francophone rite.
