How to request an S12 at an Algerian APC

2 min read · King Hands practical guide

The Algerian request goes to the event's APC: the explicit S12, the data, the procuration for third parties. The Franco-Algerian ritual: inherited forms, stamps, the greater Maghreb's cordiality.

The kit

  • The name (Arabic/French spellings), date, the commune/wilaya.
  • The parents; the acte number when the family has it.
  • 'Extrait nº 12' explicit; the procuration for third parties.

Timelines and fees

Symbolic dinars; days at the counter. The Algerian e-état-civil advances (digital extracts for the credentialed) — modernization in progress in the continental country.
