This result represents a completion rate of 34.2%, supported by the collection of 301,083 birth certificates. The registration process experienced a significant acceleration towards the end, with 30% of the supporting documents being submitted during the last three days of the initial campaign.
The opening of the second and final phase, scheduled from July 25 to August 15, 2026, puts pressure on the 118,950 public agents who have not yet been recorded. The concerned officials must present themselves to the general treasuries or partner banks with complete administrative documents. The calendar set by the financial authorities sets a strict deadline. Indeed, August 15, 2026, will mark the irreversible end of the payment of allowances for any unrecorded child. Moreover, the systematic verification of civil status documents will lead to salary withholding procedures to recover the entirety of the sums unduly received by fraudsters. Retirees, on the other hand, are explicitly excluded from this control mechanism.
The policy of rigor applied by the high budgetary hierarchy aims to sanitize the distribution of public funds while securing the real rights of beneficiaries. By sanitizing the social benefits file, the State intends to rationalize operating expenses and release budgetary margins for the benefit of national economic priorities.
