Birth & Death Registration

Birth and Death Unit is responsible for issuing of Birth and Death certificate to individuals within and outside the District.

Registration of vital events including births is the mandate of the Births and Deaths Registry.

Vital registration in Ghana began as far back as 1888. However, at its inception, it was limited to the registration of deaths. It was not until 1912 that the registration of births was introduced. The registration system has gone through a series of transformations, just as the law establishing it has seen a number of amendments. All this was aimed at improving upon the final delivery of the system.
