According to officials from the embassies of Lebanon in both Ottawa and Washington, there are two types of extracts: personal and family (Lebanon 15 Jan. 2007; ibid. 16 Jan. 2007). The personal extract contains a person's full name, father's name, mother's name, place and date of birth, marital status and registry number (ibid.). The registry number is assigned to each family to indicate the lineage – in particular, the geographical origin – of their family (ibid.). The family extract contains a man's full name, his wife's name and his children's names (ibid.). Religion appears on both the personal extract and the family extract (ibid.; ibid. 12 Jan. 2007). The Official from the Embassy of Lebanon in Ottawa indicated that the paper colour of the extract may be white, green or blue (15 Jan. 2007).
