This system enables the management of the electronic issuance process for the live birth certificate. The system is used by doctors across the country, who, by electronically signing the certificate, generate a record in a centralized database at the Ministry of Public Health and submit a request to the Civil Identification Directorate to reserve the newborn’s identity document number.
In this way, an identification is assigned to the newborn, and vital statistics data can be obtained in real time.
This project was selected as a pilot project for the Electronic Government Platform, as it includes a web services layer that is consumed by various agencies that need to be informed of the existence of a new person in the country: Civil Registry Office, Social Security Bank, among others.
