7.5 Block V.A. Reporting vital events
This block is used to record whether there is a Family Card in the household and to measure the level of awareness of the population in reporting births, deaths and relocations to the village office.
Question 512: Household member or former household member who moved into the village in the past year
Ask if there is any member or a former member of the household who has moved into the village in the past year. The moving-in event in this case is the reverse of that of the moving-out event. To be considered a person who has moved in, the person must intend to stay permanently or for an indefinite period. It is not necessarily the case that if a person moves into the village he will be considered a member of the household. Having guests or visitors who stay in the

household more than 6 months does not necessarily mean that the household has a moving-in event in accordance with the civil registration system rules.
The rule about temporary visitors has not been adopted as a general rule by the civil registration system. In some areas there are rules that require that a guest must be reported to the head of the neighborhood association; however, this may be required more for neighborhood security than for recording vital events in the civil registration system.
If there is a moving-in event, circle code 1, and continue to the next question. If there is no moving-in event, circle code 2, and go to Q 515.
