Pursuant to Article 1 of Decree 61-553 of 12 October 1961, “the nature of the responsibilities of Consuls of the Republic of Madagascar abroad results from the protective role they assume with respect to Malagasy nationals. In order to allow them to provide this protection, a system for registration with diplomatic and consular offices has been established for Malagasy nationals. »

In the event of an accident, unforeseen event or difficulty with the local authorities, the consul is able to intervene immediately in the interests of registered Malagasy nationals whom he consequently knows and whose situation he knows to be in order. Much time will however be lost with unregistered Malagasy nationals, in seeking out proof of their Malagasy nationality and their legality.

Registration facilitates the administrative procedures required by Malagasy law. Consular offices may require presentation of a valid consular registration card before issuing any of the documents they produce.
