Registered vital events are used in the digitized population register and later processed by other government systems. This policy brief looks at the inter-related registration records systems in the Netherlands. Municipal authorities are responsible for issuing legal identity credentials such as national identity cards, passports, and driver’s licences. Biometric data, such as photos for national ID, passports, and driver’s licences, is stored in a separate database kept by the issuing agencies. However, all other personal information printed on these documents is drawn directly from the central population register.application/pdfenCIVIL REGISTRATION AND VITAL STATISTICSDIGITIZATIONCRVSBIRTH REGISTRATIONDEATH REGISTRATIONDATA COLLECTIONRECORDS MANAGEMENTHEALTH POLICYLEGAL IDENTITYCOUNTRY STUDIESNETHERLANDSHOLLANDEUROPEPolicy Brief
