City Registers 64,075 Births in Fiscal Year

The city has exceeded its birth registration target for the first nine months of the fiscal year, registering 64,075 children—71.15pc more than the set goal of 58,342. This success, with a registration coverage rate of 109.63pc, is largely attributed to the efficiency of the one-centre birth registration service system, which has been rolled out across health centres and courts. The total number of vital events registered, including births, adoptions, marriages, divorces, and deaths, reached 308,289, falling just short of the target of 341,674, with a completion rate of 90.23pc. Although there was a 1.52pc decrease from the previous year, this change reflects shifts in marriage and divorce registrations, likely influenced by recent updates to the registration process. On the digital front, the city aimed to enrol 509,938 residents into the system. This goal was surpassed, with 528,495 people successfully registered, marking a 22.54pc increase compared to the previous year. The achievement is attributed to the full digital transition of 14 districts since 2016. In residence ID services, 339,048 out of the planned 473,924 were completed, reaching 71.54pc of the target. Of these, 97.03pc were issued digitally, with the remaining IDs delivered through door-to-door assistance, particularly for vulnerable individuals and those unable to visit centres or provide fingerprints. The report also revealed that 188 individuals, including managers, executives, and customers, were held accountable for procedural violations, such as selling services or falsifying information. Among those penalised were 33 customers.
