Civil registration (''Zivilstand / état civil / stato civile'') is the government record of births, marriages, and deaths. These civil registers are kept by the local civil registration office (''Zivilstandsamt / service de l'état civil / ufficio dello stato civile'') of each political community. Beginning on January 1, 1876, the civil registration office kept two separate sets of books: '''A-registers''' (records of births, marriages, and deaths occurring in the community regardless of citizenship) and '''B-registers''' (births, marriages, and deaths of citizens of the community that occurred outside the community). In 1928, the B-registers were discontinued and officially replaced by family registers (''Familienregister / registres des familles / registro delle famiglie'') kept by the civil registrar, though in most places these were already being kept. | Civil registration (''Zivilstand / état civil / stato civile'') is the government record of births, marriages, and deaths.
