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
