The CRVS system in Fiji relies on collaboration between the Ministry of Justice, Registrar Generals Office, the Ministry of Health and Medical Services, and the Fiji Bureau of Statistics. The Ministry of Justice, however, is primarily responsible for administering births, deaths and marriages, as well as maintaining all records of these registered events in Fiji, according to the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act and the Marriages Act.

Fiji maintains 3 divisional offices, 19 district offices and 18 assistant district registries addressing the birth and death registration needs of the population. Either birth or death registration is available in all of the centers, but all information is sent to Fiji's Central Registration Office.

Birth registration must occur within two months following birth, but no penalty is incurred for late registration until after one year. Births registered after two months must be made by a solemn declaration. Registration is free but issuing a birth certificate incurs a prescribed fee.

Major hospitals in Suva, Lautoka and Labasa are linked with the birth and death monitoring computer networking system, and births in these institutions are recorded for registration purposes. Written records are still stored and maintained, however, only to provide a back-up source for the registry. The patient information system for recording births in public hospitals is also an online, centralized, web database system enabling data to be routinely collected in a timely manner.

All deaths occurring within the country are required to be reported to the nearest health facility. The Ministry of Health and Medical Services captures death information on a death notification form and enters this information into an electronic database. The death notification, along with the birth certificate of the deceased, are used to complete the medical certificate with a cause of death. A copy of the medical certificate is then sent to the Central Registration Office for official the official register and a death certificate is then issued to the informant to facilitate a funeral for the deceased and family succession matters.

The Fiji Bureau of Statistics does not presently publish vital statistics records from civil registration data on an annual basis. Instead, annual statistics on births and deaths are derived from administrative data, surveys and censuses. The statistics produced are dis-aggregated by sex and age, and generated at the national and sub-national levels, however, statistics on cause of death by sex and age are only available nationally.
