Birth Registry
What is birth registration and why does it matter? | UNICEF
Broadly speaking, birth registration is the process of officially logging a birth with a government authority, and a birth certificate is the paper issued by the state to the parent or caregiver as a result of this process. A birth certificate proves that registration has occurred. Birth registration and birth certificates ideally go hand in hand.
