ABSTRACT
The work presents a design of of a Computerized Civic Registration System. A Computerized Civic Registration System is concerned with the computerization of societal civic records in the civic registration Department in order to achieve the aims and objectives of the organization. The entrance of computer into the Computerized Civic Registration System will help create and maintain efficient records.
The design was implemented to facilitate the Computerized
Civic Registration System for administration.
It will be less time wasting and cheap to run. It is expected that if
full consent is given to this, it will enhance the Information of Civic
Registration record of the administration.
ORGANIZATION

INTRODUCTION
Computerized Civic Registration System (CCRS) refers to both the practice and
the study of the activities people perform in order to acquire, organize,
maintain, retrieve and use information items such as documents (paper-based and
digital), One ideal of CCRS is that we always have the right information in the
right place, in the right form, and of sufficient completeness and quality to
meet our current need. Technologies and tools such as personal information
managers help us spend less time with time-consuming and error-prone activities
of CCRS (such as looking for information). We then have more time to make
creative, intelligent use of the information at hand in order to get things
done or, simply, to enjoy the information itself.
Interest in the study of CCRS has
increased in recent years. One goal in the study of CCRS is to identify ways to
introduce new tool support without inadvertently increasing the complexity of an
Civic information management challenge. The study of CCRS means understanding
better how people manage information across tools and over time.
Computerized Civic
Registration System involves the use of computers to carry out the functions of
Civic Registration. Every activities of Civic Registration are documented with
help of computer system. Computerized Civic Registration System required people
with computer knowledge.
Civic Registration is a collection of public
bodies with authority over a subdivision of a significant area of a country’s
territory. It is either the third tier in federal countries or the second and
third tiers in unitary countries (regions, counties, municipalities, etc.
The registration of birth,
death, marriages, homes, industrial plants, stores, schools, churches and
others is of vital importance to a local community because it affects the
quality and convenience of living and the costs of private and public services.
Three patterns are interwoven in the geographic distribution of the community
that is of primary concern.
Plans to modernize and improve the civil registration
service in our nation are set out in a Government White Paper published today.
The framework described in the White Paper provides for new and improved registration services and enables the full use of modern technology. The proposals will give people more choice and provide a better service at important moments in their lives. Announcing the publication of ‘Civil Registration: Vital Change’, Civil Registration Services contribute to the integrity of Government by their guaranteed quality. With these changes the quality of service people receive from our civil registration system will no longer be locked into the tools of days past. Birth, death and marriage registration trigger many public and private processes, making these changes some of the most pervasive Government can deliver to the public with bringing contemporary IT to its internal systems”. The White Paper proposals have been drawn from a wide-ranging consultation process with interested groups and will simplify and
modernize
services by:
·
enabling individuals to register births and deaths on-line, in person or by
telephone;
·
allowing individuals to use any register office for civil registration
services;
·
providing couples with more choice of where and when to marry;
·
providing new services including ceremonies for baby-naming and reaffirmation
of marriages.
The
proposals will make it easier for the public to deal with Government at key
points in their and their families, lives:
· A
central database of registration will contain new registrations of births,
marriages and deaths.
·
Existing registration records will be computerized, over time, and added to the
database.
·
Increasingly, within Government, certificates will be replaced by computerized
information, for example when applying for a passport or driving license.
· Members of the public will be able to give permission for other organizations to use this electronic information for example, when dealing with financial aspects following the death of a relative.
· The
more recent registration records will be able to be updated, for example with
change of name, marriage and death.
·
Registration records of people over 100 years old will be fully accessible,
removing the frustration for family historians who currently have to buy
certificates.
These
proposals for reforming civil registration form part of wider Government work
on modernizing public services. Legislation is needed but the changes can be
put in place using the order making powers in the Regulatory Reform Act 2001.
However, that means it will be at least two years before the implementation starts.
The
framework described in the White Paper provides for improved and new
registration services and enables the full use of modern technology. It is based
on the results of wide-ranging consultation with interested groups.
Computer programmers have gone
ahead to write a program to assist in the storage of information in an Civic
Registration office in the state.
