British identity solutions firm De La Rue has announced the launch of DLR Identify for CRVS. The proposition is built on DLR Identify, a citizen identity management platform.It will allow governments to record, register and report on vital citizen events including Births, Deaths, Marriages and Divorce. This essential information provides the foundation for effective planning and resource allocation for critical services such as health, education, policing, and social care programmes.This focus on authentic data falls in line with the United Nations Sustainability Goals, which aims to give every citizen a legal and secure identity by 2030.Figures from organisations including UNICEF and the WHO (United Nations Children's Emergency Fund and World Health Organisation) indicate that the births of over a million children every week go unregistered across the world.DLR Identify for CRVS provides a comprehensive platform for the registration of vital events. With a web-based solution, mobile application and SMS notification service, DLR Identify for CRVS captures information across a range of devices to provide a centralised, single and accurate view of data. Combined with a central database, national citizen data can be made available in real time.The platform's open architecture and modular design allows each country to customise the solution to its own specific needs, allowing for effective workflow management as well as growth and expansion. Governments have instant access to the data generated, and the insights established to support critical research and decision-making regarding the social and economic development programmes that their countries require. Registering vital event data is a key sign of a government's commitment to the individual's right to identity.
