1Which statute currently regulates the profession of huissier de justice in Burkina Faso?

A.The French ordonnance of 26 June 2019 creating commissaires de justice

B.Loi n°22-99/AN of 18 May 1999 on the civil procedure code alone

C.Décret n°2002-602 on tarification, standing alone

D.Loi n°054-2017/AN of 5 December 2017

Explanation: Loi n°054-2017/AN of 5 December 2017 bearing réglementation of the profession of huissier de justice is the standing Burkina statute. The Ministry of Justice published and vulgarised the text. The 1999 CPC governs procedure; décret 2002-602 concerns tariffs and is itself the scale the 2024 implementing-decree work aims to replace.

2According to the Ministry of Justice vulgarisation of Loi n°054-2017/AN, the Burkina huissier de justice holds which statut?

A.Civil-service magistrate of the siège

B.Salaried greffier of a tribunal de grande instance

C.Officier ministériel (art. 51 of the law)

D.Commissaire de justice under the French 2019 reform

Explanation: The Ministry of Justice vulgarisation of Loi 054-2017 presents the huissier as an officier ministériel (art. 51) whose principal mission is to carry out acts, exploits and significations. UIHJ likewise classifies Burkina judicial officers as liberal/self-employed professionals appointed to offices, not as sitting magistrates or greffiers.

3In OHADA and Burkina practice, the huissier de justice is classified as which kind of justice actor?

A.A sitting judge who rules on the merits of the claim

B.A prosecutor attached to the parquet

C.An officier ministériel / auxiliaire de justice charged with signification and enforcement

D.A notary who authenticates immovable sales as a primary monopoly

Explanation: AUPSRVE art. 1-1 defines the huissier de justice or enforcement authority as the officier ministériel, other auxiliaire de justice, or administrative agent charged in the State Party with forced execution of titres exécutoires and conservatory measures and with drawing and signifying the acts required for that execution. That is the Burkina huissier's core role under Loi 054-2017.

4Which body represents the profession of huissier de justice at national level in Burkina Faso?

A.The Ordre des avocats du Burkina

B.The Conseil supérieur de la magistrature alone

C.The Chambre nationale des huissiers de Justice du Burkina

D.France's Chambre nationale des commissaires de justice

Explanation: UIHJ (May 2023) and GlobaLex (2024) identify the independent professional body as the Chambre nationale des huissiers de Justice du Burkina (Faso). It organises professional training (including 2025 sessions on the new OHADA AUPSRVE) and worked with DCGOPJ on the 2024 implementing-decree drafts.

5According to UIHJ's May 2023 Burkina Faso profile, how are huissiers de justice appointed?

A.By election among all maîtrise holders of UFR/SJP

B.Automatically after a two-year ENAM schooling, with no further act

C.By the Head of the State or of the Government, after the professional exam (except as provided)

D.By the president of the tribunal de grande instance of their residence, without a State act

Explanation: UIHJ (May 2023) states that, under exception, a professional exam is necessary to exercise the profession, and that judicial officers are appointed by the Head of the State or of the Government. GlobaLex adds that they are recruited through a test by the bailiffs' council. UIHJ also states there is no initial training school for future judicial officers.

6What education level do GlobaLex (2024) and UIHJ (May 2023) report for access to the Burkina huissier profession?

A.BEPC plus a six-month clerkship

B.Doctorate in law only

C.Maîtrise en droit or equivalent — four years of law studies / Master 1 equivalent

D.CAPA (avocat) as a mandatory prior diploma

Explanation: GlobaLex (2024) states applicants must hold a maîtrise en droit or equivalent diploma, and that candidates for the bailiff's profession must have at least four years of legal studies. UIHJ (May 2023) requires four years of law studies or equivalent (Master 1 or equivalent). CAPA is the avocat pathway.

7How does GlobaLex (2024) describe recruitment into the Burkina bailiff profession?

A.By a test organised with the councils of bailiffs (and, for the sister profession, notaries)

B.By open e-concours on e-concours.gov.bf for all Category B civil-service jobs

C.By lateral transfer from the French INCJ diploma, automatically recognised

D.By purchase of an office from a retiring huissier without any exam

Explanation: GlobaLex (2024) states that bailiffs and notaries 'are recruited through a test by the councils of Bailiffs and Notaries.' The 2021 Ministry sitting (33 posts, written then oral) is the last fully reported illustration of that access concours. It is not an MSP e-concours civil-service stream and not a French INCJ diploma.

8Which statement about initial training of Burkina huissiers is supported by UIHJ (May 2023) and GlobaLex (2024)?

A.Every candidate must complete a two-year internship identical to the notary pathway before appointment

B.There is a dedicated national school of huissiers equivalent to ENAM for magistrates

C.There is no initial training school for future judicial officers; GlobaLex notes no prior training in a specific institution for bailiffs

D.UIHJ requires a six-year LMD Master 2 as the only accepted diploma

Explanation: UIHJ (May 2023): 'There is no initial training for the future judicial officers.' GlobaLex: 'There is no prior training in a specific institution for bailiffs.' By contrast, GlobaLex documents a two-year internship for successful notary applicants. Do not import that notary internship onto the huissier pathway unless a Burkina sitting notice says so.

9In the last fully reported Burkina huissier recruitment sitting (2021), how many posts were opened?

A.A standing annual quota of 100 posts published for 2026

B.43 posts matching the UIHJ office count as a yearly intake

C.33 huissiers de justice

D.The number is unpublished, so 2026 commercial sites may be treated as official

Explanation: The Ministry of Justice announced a 2021 concours to recruit 33 huissiers de justice (written then oral). UIHJ's figure of 43 officers in 43 offices (May 2023) describes the corps size, not a 2021 or 2026 intake. No verified 2025–2026 post count was published.

10Where and when was the oral stage of the 2021 Burkina huissier concours convened?

A.19 December 2021 at the Ministry of Justice in Koudougou

B.28 December 2021 at ENAM Ouagadougou

C.A standing 2026 oral date of 26 December each year at INCJ Paris

D.26 December 2021 at 08:00 at UFR/SJP, Université Thomas Sankara

Explanation: The Ministry of Justice 2021 notice placed the oral at 08:00 on 26 December 2021 at UFR/SJP, Université Thomas Sankara. The admissibles list was dated 19 December 2021; results followed on 28 December 2021. That calendar is historical, not a standing annual date, and it is not a French INCJ sitting.

About the Burkina Faso Huissier Concours Exam

Burkina Faso's huissier de justice is an officier ministériel and auxiliaire de justice whose profession is regulated by Loi n°054-2017/AN of 5 December 2017. Access is by concours. The last fully reported sitting (Ministry of Justice, 2021) recruited 33 huissiers after a written stage and an oral at UFR/SJP, Université Thomas Sankara. GlobaLex (2024) reports recruitment by test of the bailiffs' council and a maîtrise en droit (or equivalent); UIHJ (May 2023) lists four years of law studies or equivalent and appointment by the Head of State or of the Government, with no dedicated initial training school. Core daily law is the OHADA AUPSRVE (revised 17 October 2023, in force 16 February 2024): injonction de payer, commandement before saisie-vente, saisie-attribution, and the tiers-saisi declaration. In October 2024 the DCGOPJ and the chambre nationale drafted implementing decrees on tarification (to replace décret 2002-602) and a caisse de dépôt for recovered funds; new tariff figures are not yet a published 2026 official scale. No verified 2025–2026 sitting or post count was found. Official assessment is in French. This free English MCQ bank trains the standing professional knowledge of the pathway; it is not an official translation or a format simulation.

Assessment

Standing access concours under Loi n°054-2017/AN of 5 December 2017. The last fully reported sitting is the 2021 Ministry of Justice recruitment of 33 huissiers: written stage, admissibles list on 19 December 2021, oral on 26 December 2021 at 08:00 at UFR/SJP, Université Thomas Sankara, results 28 December 2021. The 2021 paper list was not published as a standing syllabus; this bank is therefore built from confirmed functions of the profession (Loi 054-2017), Burkina CPC signification, and OHADA AUPSRVE — not from France's commissaire de justice/INCJ papers or Senegal's coefficient scheme. GlobaLex/UIHJ describe a maîtrise-level (four-year) law diploma and a professional exam; UIHJ states there is no initial training school for future judicial officers. A two-year internship is documented for Burkina notaries, not asserted here for huissiers. Official papers are in French (written then oral). This 100-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation — not an official translation, not a simulation of the written/oral papers, and not a substitute for French composition.

Burkina Faso Huissier Concours Study Tips from Top Performers

1Study Loi 054-2017's statut (officier ministériel, chambre nationale, nomination) separately from France's commissaire de justice reform.

2Memorise AUPSRVE 2023 delay numbers from the official text: commandement at least 8 days (art. 92); injonction opposition 10 days (art. 10); tiers-saisi declaration within 2 days, or 5 days if not signified à personne (art. 156).

3Keep Burkina CPC hours for signification (art. 83: 06:00–19:00) distinct from AUPSRVE hours for enforcement measures (art. 46: 08:00–18:00 on working days).

4Do not memorise a 2026 tariff: the October 2024 DCGOPJ workshop was still drafting the decree meant to replace décret 2002-602.

5After MCQ review, practise French written composition and oral presentation; this English bank cannot replace those papers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the official Burkina Faso huissier concours a multiple-choice exam in English?

No. The last fully reported sitting (2021) used French written papers then an oral. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or a simulation of those papers.

Which law regulates the profession?

Loi n°054-2017/AN of 5 December 2017, published by the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry's vulgarisation presents the huissier as an officier ministériel (art. 51 of that law) whose core mission is acts, exploits and significations.

Was there a verified 2025 or 2026 sitting?

No verified 2025–2026 post count, fee or timetable was found on justice.gov.bf as of this research. Treat the concours as the standing access exam under Loi 054-2017; the last fully reported sitting is 2021 (33 posts).

What diploma is required?

GlobaLex (2024) and UIHJ (May 2023): maîtrise en droit or equivalent, described as four years of law studies or Master 1 equivalent. Do not assume a lower diploma is accepted.

Does Burkina use France's commissaire de justice exam?

No. Burkina retains the huissier de justice under Loi 054-2017. Do not study France's INCJ/commissaire de justice papers or Senegal's three-paper coefficient scheme as if they were Burkina's unpublished 2021 paper list.

What is the core enforcement statute?

The OHADA AUPSRVE, revised 17 October 2023 at Kinshasa, published 15 November 2023 and in force 16 February 2024. The Chambre nationale trained members on the new Act (including 2025 sessions on the revised uniform act).
