Benin Citizenship-by-Descent Tracker
A community-submitted timeline tracker for applicants following the current Beninese citizenship-by-descent process.
What it follows
- Application submitted
- Validated Level 1
- Attestation received / Generated
- Decree received
Privacy
No email address, Reddit username, account, or real name is required.
New entries receive a private update link so the same timeline can be updated later.
Who should submit?
Please add an application that is still in process, regardless of when it was submitted, or a completed case that went through the newer Decree Notification stage, generally from around February 2026 onward.
If your case was already fully completed under the older process before that stage existed, please leave it out so the timelines remain reasonably comparable.
About the data
This is community-submitted data, not an official processing-time estimate from the Beninese government.
