Statute overview

About this statute

This Order sets rules for civil status registers, electronic storage of register records, the role of the civil registrar in a healthcare facility, and late birth registration. Civil status registers must be filled electronically, and the record formats are set out in the annexes. Each civil status office must keep one register for each type of civil status record. Electronic civil status data recorded at Sector level must be permanently compiled into the national electronic database. An electronically kept civil status record has the same value as a paper civil status record.
