5. Issue certificate

As a legal document, it is important that we track that the vital event certificate has ben issued to the informant so that there is a log of this action having occurred. OpenCRVS allows certificates to be printed off in advance of collection to support Registration Office practices where there is a certificate collection on a specific day of the week for informants.

Certificates printed off in advance show in the Ready to issue workqueue so that on collections the Registrar or Registration Agent can log that the certificate has been issued.

Configuration options:

  • Enable/disable printing off in advance of issuance
