Organisation of the civil registration system | |||
2. The civil registration system in Egypt is centralized. In Egypt there are 27 | |||
governorates, among which 4 are urban and 23 are rural. These governorates | |||
are further divided into centers/towns and villages. There are 4417 local health | |||
units in the country registering births, deaths and foetal deaths. Registration of | |||
marriages and divorces is the responsibility of Family Affairs Courts (a total of | |||
231) and Real Estate Publicity Department (2 of them, located in Cairo and | |||
Alexandria). All the information collected at the local registration office is | |||
eventually sent to Department of Civil Status (under the Ministry of Interior) | |||
through the provincial level civil registration offices and centers (27 in total). <ref>UN Statistics Wiki, [https://unstats.un.org/wiki/display/CRAVS/Civil+Registration+and+Vital+Statistics+System+in+Egypt Civil Registration and Vital Statistics System in Egypt], (accessed 16 December 2021)].</ref> | |||
