This profile first explains the role, then how to send a request from Belgium through the Honorary Consulate of Benin in Liège.
The role of Bienvenu Sabi Dan
Chosen by the municipal council from among its members, the mayor heads the administration of the municipality of Kouandé. Bienvenu Sabi Dan therefore implements the council's decisions, prepares and executes the municipal budget and represents the municipality.
The mayor is also the civil registrar: the municipality's birth, marriage and death certificates are drawn up under the mayor's authority. Moreover, since the decentralisation of 2003, municipalities have managed local planning, markets, roads, sanitation, and the building and upkeep of primary schools and basic health centres.
For the Beninese diaspora in Belgium, the town hall therefore remains the natural contact for a civil status matter, a project in one's home municipality or a local procedure.

What should a request include?
Set out the facts, what you expect from the authority and, where relevant, the steps you have already taken. For a member of parliament or a mayor, also mention your home municipality in Benin: this helps the authority to place your request in context.
Which requests does the consulate decline?
The consulate sets aside insulting, defamatory or threatening language as well as electoral propaganda. It may also group similar requests together or decline those that breach the charter; in that case, it tells you why.
Does the consulate reply on behalf of the authority?
No, because the authority remains free to reply and the consulate cannot guarantee an answer. However, it passes on any reply it receives, directly in your personal account.
Is this information official?
No, it serves as a guide for the diaspora. In case of doubt, only the texts published in the Official Journal of the Republic of Benin are authoritative.
