Abstract

South Korea has a fully computerized and digitized Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) process that has resulted in a sound CRVS system. It consists of databases closely linked to the Family Relationship Registration, Resident Registration, real estate registration, automobile registration, population statistics, employment, and customs systems. Certification of registered information is possible either in paper or digital format. All individual information systems are interoperable and integrated through the Administrative Information Sharing System Platform. The system’s success is a consequence of awareness and political engagement of high-level decision-makers.
