Civil Registration and Vital Statistics Practice in Laos • In Lao PDR ‘registration’ is usually understood as registration in the ‘family book’ and not necessarily possession of a birth certificate • There are several different systems for registering citizens, but none of them can be considered as part of a common civil registration system

  3. CRVS Practice in Laos ( continued ) • Roles and responsibilities have not been clear for several years and only since the creation of the new Ministry of Home Affairs in 2011 a clear mandate to oversight the civil registration system has been given by the Government of Lao PDR to a unique agency. • The different systems designed for very different purposes are in general paper based and a centralised computer based database and dataset does not exist yet.
