Office of the City Civil Registrar

Function : General Public Service

OFFICE MANDATES

Civil Registration is a very important aspect of our daily lives. In whatever form of society we may belong, it is the fundamental right of every individual to be registered and counted. It is  along this premise that the City Civil  Registrar’s Office is mandated to record in the local civil register the civil status of persons so that important rights may be exercised in order to receive the utmost protection and care in the place where we live.

The Civil Registrar’s Office is mandated to register the birth of every citizen so that we will have a name and identity to be known in the community, to go to school, to travel, to be employed, to enjoy benefits and services and to exercise some civil rights. We register the marriage of a man and a woman as a notice to the whole world about their contract to become husband and wife and will, thus produce civil effects. We register the fact of death of a person in order to record the termination of his civil rights.
