Write the name of the commune or the arrondissement of the place of birth.
For persons born in foreign countries, write the name of the country of birth.

This is the place where the person was effectively born, and not necessarily the place mentioned on his or her ID card. Ask the following question:

"In which arrondissement, commune or country were you born?"

Record the name of the "Commune", followed by the letter "C", or the name of the "Arrondissement" of birth for people born in Senegal. If the name of the "Arrondissement" is not known, record the name of the "Département", followed by the letter "D". If it is not known, record the name of the "Region", followed by the letter "R".
