Historical Background[edit | edit source]
Civil registration began in 1839, though only births and deaths.[1] In 1907, the Ottoman Empire made a decree that expanded record keeping by penalizing those who did not comply. As a result, there is a greater microdata coverage after 1907, and sparse coverage prior to 1907.
4417 local health units register births, deaths and fetal deaths. Registration of marriages and divorces is done by 231 Family Affairs Courts and 2 Real Estate Publicity Departments (located in Cairo and Alexandria).[2]
Adoption is illegal in Egypt.[3]
