Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) for Monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) defines civil registration as the continuous, permanent, compulsory and universal recording of the occurrence and characteristics of vital events pertaining to the population, as provided through decree or regulation in accordance with the legal requirements in each country.
