The journeys

Journeys J1–J7 begin with a new record — an informant initiates and the record progresses through the registration lifecycle. Journeys N1–N13 begin from a record already in the system, triggered by an exception, an error, or a post-registration need.


J1 — Health facility notification to registration (BIRTH-REG-1)

When this applies: A birth occurs at a health facility. The Health Official captures a notification with partial details, which must be completed and validated by a Registration Officer before being registered by a Registrar.

In plain terms: A baby is born in a hospital. The hospital clerk captures the basic birth details using a shortened form. This notification is sent to the district registration office, where a Registration Officer reviews the notification, contacts the family if needed, completes all required fields, and validates the record. The Registrar then reviews the completed declaration and formally registers the birth. The family receives a birth certificate.

Key decisions:

  • If the birth is more than 365 days ago → late registration rules apply; see J4

  • If a potential duplicate is detected → the Registrar must review the existing record before proceeding

  • If supporting documents are incomplete → the Registration Officer rejects the notification or holds it for follow-up

What the informant / family receives: Birth certificate (first copy free). Tracking ID provided at notification for status tracking.


J2 — Community declaration to registration (BIRTH-REG-2)

When this applies: A birth occurs in a rural community. A Community Leader captures the declaration using a shortened form, which must be validated by a Registration Officer and then registered by a Registrar.

In plain terms: A baby is born in a rural area. The Community Leader visits the family and captures the basic birth details using a shortened form on their device. The declaration is submitted (online or synced later if offline) to the district registration office. A Registration Officer reviews the Community Leader's submission, completes any missing details with the family, and validates it as a full declaration. The Registrar then registers the birth. The family receives a certificate.

  • If a potential duplicate is detected → Registrar reviews before proceeding

What the informant / family receives: Birth certificate (first copy free). Tracking ID provided at declaration.


J3 — Office declaration and registration (BIRTH-REG-3)

When this applies: A parent or guardian walks into a district registration office to declare a birth directly.

In plain terms: The informant visits the registration office in person. A Registration Officer captures the full declaration, including all mandatory fields and supporting documents. The Registration Officer validates the declaration and submits it. The Registrar reviews and registers the birth. The family receives a certificate the same day or shortly after.

  • If the informant is a legal guardian → court documentation required

What the informant / family receives: Birth certificate (first copy free), typically same-day.


J4 — Late registration with Provincial Registrar approval (BIRTH-REG-4)

When this applies: The birth occurred more than 365 days ago. The declaration is automatically flagged as a late registration requiring Provincial Registrar approval before the Registrar can register it.

In plain terms: When a birth is declared more than a year after it occurred, the system automatically flags it as a late registration. The declaration follows the normal path (notification or office declaration) but before the Registrar can register it, a Provincial Registrar must review and approve the late registration. Once approved, the Registrar registers the birth. If the Provincial Registrar rejects it, the record is returned for updates (see N1).

  • Open Question: whether a further "delayed" tier (beyond 365 days, e.g. requiring court order) applies

What the informant / family receives: Birth certificate (first copy free), after provincial approval and registration.


J5 — Offline registration drive (BIRTH-REG-5)

When this applies: A Registrar conducts a registration drive in a remote area. The Registrar declares and registers births directly, printing certificates on-site without waiting for server synchronisation.

In plain terms: During a registration drive in an area with poor or no connectivity, the Registrar captures the full declaration directly from the informant, registers the birth, and prints the certificate — all in one session, offline. The data syncs to the central server when the Registrar's device reconnects.

When online

Key decisions:

  • If a duplicate is detected at sync time → flagged for review; certificate has already been issued

  • Certificate is not "legally final" until sync completes — acknowledged risk

What the informant / family receives: Birth certificate printed on-site during the drive.


J6 — Embassy declaration and registration (BIRTH-REG-9)

When this applies: A Farajaland citizen gives birth overseas. The Embassy Official captures the declaration at the embassy, and the Registrar General registers it.

In plain terms: A Farajaland citizen has a baby abroad. They visit the nearest Farajaland embassy, where an Embassy Official captures the full declaration. The declaration is submitted to the Registrar General, who reviews and registers the birth. The Embassy Official then prints the certificate for the family.

  • Open Question: whether late registration rules apply to embassy declarations

What the informant / family receives: Birth certificate printed at the embassy.


J7 — Birth with MOSIP parent authentication and UIN creation (BIRTH-REG-11)

When this applies: During the declaration, the mother and/or father authenticates via MOSIP eSignet. At registration, this triggers UIN creation for the child (provided at least one parent is a Farajaland citizen).

In plain terms: This journey overlays any of J1–J6. During the declaration, the parent authenticates their identity using the national ID system (MOSIP eSignet). Their details are pre-populated from the ID system. When the birth is registered, the system automatically sends the child's details to MOSIP for creation of a Unique Identification Number (UIN). The record is held briefly while the identity system processes the request. Once confirmed, a VID (Virtual ID) is stored on the record.

5

After MOSIP confirmation

Key decisions:

  • If neither parent is a Farajaland citizen → UIN creation does not trigger; registration proceeds normally

  • If the device is offline during eSignet → QR code scanning of MOSIP credential as fallback (verification, not authentication)

  • If MOSIP does not respond → record stalls in Awaiting external validation queue; requires manual investigation

What the informant / family receives: Birth certificate. Child's UIN is created in the national ID system.


Other journeys

The journeys below begin from a record that already exists in the system. Each entry shows the status the record is in when the journey starts and what triggers it.


N1 — Late registration rejected by Provincial Registrar (BIRTH-REG-6)

Triggered when: A Provincial Registrar reviews a late registration (flagged at declaration) and determines it cannot be approved — due to insufficient evidence, documentation gaps, or policy non-compliance. Record at the start: Declared (with flag:late-registration-approval-required)

In plain terms: The Provincial Registrar reviews the late registration request and rejects it, providing a reason. The record is returned to the Registration Officer who submitted it, who contacts the family, gathers additional evidence, and re-submits the declaration. The Provincial Registrar reviews again.

What the informant / family receives: Corrected birth certificate (if approved).


N11 — Correction to add MOSIP authentication for UIN creation (BIRTH-CORRECT-2-MOSIP)

Triggered when: A correction adds eSignet authentication of a parent to a record where it was previously absent, satisfying the eligibility rules for UIN creation. Record at the start: Registered (without child UIN)

In plain terms: A registered birth record did not trigger UIN creation at registration because no parent was authenticated. A correction is submitted that adds mother or father authentication via eSignet. Once the correction is approved, the system triggers deferred UIN creation for the child through MOSIP.
