The project for the interconnection and modernization of civil registration, identity, and vital statistics processes aims to interconnect and modernize the processes of civil identification, civil status registration, and the generation of base information for vital statistics by strengthening institutions (interconnection between the Ministry of Public Health (MSP), National Civil Identification Directorate (DNIC), and the General Directorate of Civil Status Registry (DGREC)) and the electronic issuance of new certificates, indexing, and digitization of existing records.
This project corresponds to the Civil Status Registry Management System (SGREC), which consists of automating the processes related to the registration of acts and facts linked to the civil status of individuals and the issuance of certificate copies. The system includes interconnection with other systems through the Electronic Government Platform. The project scope includes system development and infrastructure management (communications, security, backup, among others).
Additionally, within the project, the SGREC Web (Digital Certificates on the Internet) was implemented, whose objective is to simplify the procedure for requesting and issuing birth, acknowledgment, marriage, divorce abroad, and death certificates. The incorporation of this system allows citizens to obtain certificates easily, quickly, simply, and free of charge in digital format, which have the same validity as paper-format certificates. During the document issuance process, the citizen can directly download the certificate from any device or request that the document be sent to their email account.
The validity of each document is based on the digital signature, which guarantees the legitimacy of the document issuance and leaves a record of the issuer. Additionally, it certifies that the document has not been altered by external agents outside the civil registry.
