Major Bottlenecks in the Current Process
• Centralized System of Registration. Licensed officer presides over a Marriage Celebration and issues a Certificate. Registration takes place in the Registrar’s office at the HQ
• No provision under the Act for compilation of statistics • No linkage with other systems especially the NPR and
KNBS. Therefore there is no official statistics of registered Marriages and difficulty in establishing family trees in the NPR.
• Entirely Manual Business Process and Paper based Registry

STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS BOTTLENECKS
• Decentralization of the entire process of Marriage – From Notification, Celebration to Registration
• Establishment of Linkages between key users of data from the Marriage System i.e KNBS and National Population Register
• Amendment of the Act to include Provisions on Data compilation and dissemination
• Policy level intervention and political support for the department to join the NSS and the NPR
