THE CIVIL REGISTRATION PROCESS IN
TANZANIA
The Civil Registration in the country is governed
by the following laws .
• Registration of Births and Deaths is governed by
the law known as The Births and Deaths
Registration Act Cap 108 R.E 2002 which came
into force in 1920 and last amended in 2009.
• Matters relating to Marriages and Divorce are
governed by The Law of Marriage Act Cap 29 R.E
2002 which came into force in 1971 and was
revised in 2002.
