What are the conditions and order of issuing duplicate civil status documents? This explains who may apply for a copy of a birth, marriage, death or divorce record (civil status document) and the locations/online options for applying.
Background
Registration of births must be done within two months of birth and deaths within three days.
Registration offices are next to "marriage palaces" permitting the registration and performance of weddings to occur at the same place and time.[1]
Time period: 1920-present.
Coverage and Compliance
Coverage was low for the first decade of registration, then 85% thereafter. The civil war of the early Soviet period inhibited registration. For two years it was not enforced. The system was established first in urban and later in rural areas. Gaps persisted through 1926. Civil registration broke down in the occupied areas during World War II, and some registers were burned.[1]
