Questions
Common questions about birth certificates
What do I need to get a birth certificate in Dakar?
Usually the name, date and place of birth, and the certificate number if possible. Some offices ask for a signed authorisation or a copy of ID: we tell you before we start.
How long does it take?
It depends on the civil registry office. You are told how long with the price, and you follow each step in your file.
Can the certificate be sent abroad?
Yes. The original can go by courier with a tracking number, or be handed to a relative who is travelling.
What if the record can't be found?
The agent tells you, with the office's written answer when there is one, and explains what can be done next. Teewal never pays to get around a rule.
