Major Bottlenecks in the Current Process
• Centralized System of Registration. Licensed officer
presides over a Marriage Celebration and issues a
Certificate. Registration takes place in the Registrar’s
office at the HQ
• No provision under the Act for compilation of statistics
• No linkage with other systems especially the NPR and
KNBS. Therefore there is no official statistics of registered
Marriages and difficulty in establishing family trees in the
NPR.
• Entirely Manual Business Process and Paper based
Registry

STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS BOTTLENECKS
• Decentralization of the entire process of Marriage – From
Notification, Celebration to Registration
• Establishment of Linkages between key users of data
from the Marriage System i.e KNBS and National
Population Register
• Amendment of the Act to include Provisions on Data
compilation and dissemination
• Policy level intervention and political support for the
department to join the NSS and the NPR
