8. Correct record

Mistakes can be made during any administrative process and therefore the ability to correct these in a safe manner, along with an audit trail, needs to be available.

OpenCRVS allows a Registrar to correct a record, provide a reason for the correction, attach accompanying supporting documents and make the correction, keeping an audit of all actions throughout.
