Birth registration

Birth registration is the official recording of a child's birth by the government. It typically occurs shortly after birth and involves documenting important details, such as the child’s name, date of birth, place of birth, and parents’ information. This process is crucial as it establishes the child’s identity and legal status, enabling access to rights such as healthcare, education, and citizenship. Birth certificates, which are issued after registration, serve as important legal documents throughout an individual's life, helping to verify age and identity in various situations.
