Historical Background[edit | edit source]
The Timorese people inhabited the island before Portugal colonized it in the 16th century. On the 28 November 1975, East Timor became independent from Portugal, but nine days later was invaded and taken over by Indonesia. After decades of violence, East Timor became free. The main religion is Catholicism.[1]
Coverage and Compliance[edit | edit source]
At present all Birth, Marriage, and Death records in East Timor are almost non-existent. What records that did exist during the Portuguese occupation have either been destroyed or lost.{{[verification needed] }}
In 2011, the National Birth Registration Campaign began registering children under the age of five.[2]
