About this statute

This provision says the order sets out which health facility officer has civil registrar powers and describes that officer’s responsibilities and how they are carried out. Within a health facility, specified managers may be designated as the officer with civil registrar powers, and the civil registrar must not have a prison sentence of 6 months or more. The civil registrar at a health facility must receive birth and death declarations, prepare and correct the related civil status records, issue copies, and keep the registers. If the head of a private health facility is not Rwandan, they must nominate a Rwandan officer, subject to district approval, and the officer must swear the duties before the local civil registrar. A civil registrar at a private health facility must take an oath before the superior civil registrar of the relevant jurisdiction, and must perform duties according to the relevant laws.
