Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="PH00A402"><span class="h3">P5 Birth registration with Local Civil Registrar (LCR)</span><br /><br />Provisions of civil code and other laws in the country are concerned with the legal or civil rights of an individual. Civil rights could be granted only by the government and proof of one's claim to such rights is dependent on official registration, the legal purpose for which civil registration was designed. The birth of a person is one of the vital events for official registration. The recording of the occurrence of birth in the birth register is called birth registration. And the proof of such registration is the birth certificate with an LCR number.<br /><br />After recording the date of birth of a person, ask the respondent "Was __________'s birth registered with the LCR?" Draw an "x" mark on the appropriate circle. When the birth of a member of the household is unknown to the respondent, verify from the member himself. If after probing the birth registration is still unknown, draw an "x" mark on the circle provided for the answer of don't know.<br /></svar>
