Historical Background[edit | edit source]
"Vital Statistics Unit (VSU) is a General Registry in Belize that is accountable to register major events such as births, deaths, marriages, adoptions and deed polls...A committee was formed in 1999 to find ways to improve the vital registration system. (Margaret, Edwin, 2007). Through this means, the vital registration system was examined and members agreed that an integrated system monitored by the Ministry of Health would contribute to reduce the under registration and under-reporting of vital statistics. This will further enhance the quality of information produced by the country of Belize as it relates to vital statistics. (Jules, 2013). After countless unsatisfied reviews the system was re-evaluated; Registrar General, Velda Flowers stated that in 2016 a new system was implemented called the Supreme Court Management System which was to supply the registration, the preparation of births and deaths and marriage certificates. With the new system,...The VSU have two main locations which is in Belize City and in Belmopan...Technology has impacted the performance of VSU and slowly eliminating paper-based to electronic copies.
