Abstract
Madagascar has a decentralized civil registration system, with no central depository of records. A key element of new legislation is the creation of a National Civil Registration and Identification Center. The responsibility for civil registration in Madagascar is divided between the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice. Registration tasks are generally carried out by the municipalities [communes]. Upon the planned modernization of the civil registration system, Madagascar will create a database for civil register records once the format of the unique identification number (UIN) has been determined.
