-"Upon certification by the presiding judge,...The court will then transmit the original marriage contract to the civil registry office in its operational area, which will record the marriage and forward the information to the civil registry office where the respective spouse’s records are kept, where their individual marital status’ will be updated (from single/divorced/widowed to married), and to transfer and merge the wife’s civil registry record to/with the one of the husband."<ref>Syrian Arab Republic.

+==Background==
-Information about births is submitted to the civil registry department (al-nufus), either where the father’s civil records are kept or where the birth took place.
-For the birth of a foreigner’s child, the mukhtar of the area where the birth took place creates a birth attestation based on information from the hospital or the (registered) midwife.
-Regardless of the type of divorce, a divorce only becomes effective following its pronouncement by a competent religious court. The court’s decision is sent to the civil registry that maintained the married couple’s records.
-A death record is submitted to the civil registry office where the deceased’s records are kept.
-The registration of the death of a stillborn child is conducted through an attestation provided by the treating hospital or from the mukhtar, along with the signatures of two witnesses.
-Registration of deaths of non-Syrians in Syria is registered in the so-called ‘record of deaths’ maintained by the civil registry department where the death occurred.
-==Historical Background==
+In 1516, Syria was conquered by the Ottoman Empire.  After WWI, France had control of the area of Syria.  In April 1946, Syria became an independent republic.
