Historical Background[edit | edit source]
"In Nepal, civil registration relates to the events of birth, death, marriage, and divorce. In addition, civil registration authorities are also responsible for registration of in-country migration. The Birth, Death and Other Personal Events (Registration) Act was enacted in 1977 and subsequently amended in 1980, 1991, and 2006. It defined five vital events and made the registration provisions more legally binding. The Act’s registration provisions in the districts came into force in a phased manner that took almost 15 years to cover the whole geographic region. Marriage registration is regulated in greater detail in the Marriage Registration Act from 1971, which was amended in 2018. Duties and responsibilities of registration stakeholders are further elaborated in directions to the local registrar from 2010 and in the Local Government Operation Act, 2074 (2017).20" [1]
Nepal does not have a national repository for vital statistics of any kind. There is a movement in place to establish this as a national policy, and the following link provides some information on this activity:
