Civil registration started in 1881. The records include:
- Births – names, dates of birth, names of parents, father’s occupation and residence, sometimes age of mother; names of witnesses and their residence, occupations, and sometimes relationships.
- Marriages – names of candidates, their places of residence and date of marriage, sometimes ages and names of parents or sponsors.
- Deaths – name of deceased, their dates of deaths and burial, age, place of residence at time of death, occupation, cause of death.
They are located at the National Archives in Tunis; and Archives Nationales, Section Outre-Mer, in Paris.
Coverage and Compliance[edit | edit source]
It is estimated that coverage is at about 40% of the population.
