Application and use of civil registration and vital statistics information

The present chapter covers such topics as the use and application of civil registration information and records, and of vital statistics and data, including total counts, tabulations, rates, ratios and microdata. In particular, a distinction is made between use within each system (registration and statistics, respectively), and use for applications outside the system. External applications of civil registration information and vital statistics include data sharing with both public and private entities. Thus, heightened importance must be placed on confidentiality issues.
