Population Register

• A population register uses Unique Identification Number to link a civil register with data from different administrative registers

• It is continuously updated with data on births, deaths, marriages, divorces, change of address, name changes, citizenship, migration etc

Electronic On-site Birth Registration Electronic on-site birth registrations Assistant Registrar stationed at major hospitals• Midwife or doctor completes a birth notification form

• Assistant Registrar placed in the hospital enters the information in birth notification form online

• The mother or father is allowed to check the accuracy of the information entered electronically

• A registration number (ID number) is then generated central database

• A birth certificate with the unique ID number on it is printed and given to the mother prior to discharge from the hospital

• That same unique ID number is used for the national ID card issued at age 15 years and above (depending on country)

Other Birth Registrations In health centers & small hospitals without onsite birth registration• Midwife/doctor complete the birth notification form and within a week

forward it to the nearest registration office (or entered directly in tablet/mobile phone)

• It is then entered into the central database, quality-checked and authorized by a supervisor

• Since the information is captured in electronic form, the parent can go to any registration office in the country to get a printed copy

• The parent will however have to show the tear–off piece from the birth notification form and identify him/herself

For births at home eg during immunization visits, maternal and child health personnel completes birth notification form (paper-baaed or electronic) and sends to local registration office.

Principles on Identification for Sustainable Development

Pillar A. Inclusion: Universal Coverage and Accessibility• Should strive for continuous universal coverage from birth to death, free

from discrimination and accessible to all individuals.

Pillar B. Design: Robust, Secure, Responsive, and Sustainable• Should be robust, context-appropriate, and interoperable & collect and use

only the information necessary for the system’s explicit purpose.

Pillar C. Governance: Building Trust by Protecting Privacy and User Rights• Should be built on a legal and operational foundation of trust and

accountability between government agencies, international organizations, private sector and individuals.  

CRVS & SDGs

15 of the 17 SDGs require CRVS data for monitoringSelected SDG Targets • Target 16.9. By 2030, provide legal identity for all, including birth

registration. • Target 17.18. By 2020, enhance capacity-building support to

developing countries including for least-developed countries and Small Island Developing States, to increase significantly the availability of high-quality, timely, and reliable data disaggregated by income gender, age, race, ethnicity, migration status, disability, geographic location, and other characteristics relevant in national context.

• Indicator 17.19.2b. Proportion of countries that have achieved 100 percent birth registration and 80 per cent death registration.
