Hi,

About to have a baby or already had children? Let's share your experience about the paperworks for registering a birth in Senegal.

What are the formalities to obtain a birth certificate?

What is the procedure to follow if both parents are of the same nationality or for a mixed couple?

Thank you in advance for participating,

David

Hello,
sorry for the late response well my wife and I are about to have our third child all born in Senegal she is from Belgium and I'm from the USA. Well after the birth the hospital provides a birth certificate. Now if your an american citizen lucky for you there is an american embassy in Dakar, Senegal you can take the birth certificate to them in order to get an american birth certificate but both parents have to be present with proper identification. I hope I have answered your question?
