About this statute

This Order sets the number, type, format, and use of civil status registers. This article says there are seven civil status registers and lists their types. Civil status registers have a required paper size for physical books; electronic registers have no specific size, but records and extracts from them must use the same size as the physical format. Each District must provide civil status registers to civil status offices in its jurisdiction, except that this rule does not apply to electronically kept registers. If a civil status office is removed, the former registrar must prepare a document listing the number and type of transferred physical registers, send it to the new office, and give a copy to the supervisor. Registers from the closed office are then closed, archived, and replaced with new ones.
