The census laws of 1875 and 1884 established a system of civil registration, with the population registers kept at the local district [kaza] level, to update the census by adding new information about births, marriages, and deaths.

Supplemental registration of births, marriages, divorces, and deaths were sometimes added to the register itself or sometimes compiled in separate registers. | '''Record type:''' The earliest census reports from Turkey date from 1831.<ref>Military head tax registers (a quasi census) date from 1551.</ref> But these generally count number of households or even of persons, but they recorded few names.
