Kenyans to Easily Access Birth & Death Certificates in New Plan
Every constituency will have a birth and death registration office established by the government to facilitate prompt access to vital records.
Immigration Principal Secretary Julius Bitok said in a statement on Friday, May 17, that the government is collaborating with lawmakers and other officials to create civil registration offices that do not presently provide the services.
According to the plan, the National Registration Bureau and immigration officers will also be housed in the new offices to offer their services.
“Our goal is to establish offices in all 290 constituencies nationwide. We want to expand it nationwide because the Kenya Kwanza government is committed to providing these services at the grassroots level. Right now, we are at 170,” Bitok said.
The PS suggested that inhabitants of the area who had previously been travelling to Eldoret town to receive the services should contact the Moiben office in Uasin Gishu County.
“Being a rural electorate, getting to Eldoret town to look for these services has proven to be an extremely challenging trek. We have now moved it closer to the people, and it will benefit not only Moiben but also nearby constituencies like Soy, Ainabkoi, Marakwet, and Trans Nzoia,” he said.
He clarified that by encouraging qualified Kenyans to apply for the new digital ID cards, chiefs and their deputies will play a crucial role in making the idea a reality.
To register, you must scan your fingerprint or face, which will be stored in the system as a unique identification. Your identity will be represented by the personal information on your ID card, which is essential for gaining access to government services.
In addition, each Kenyan will be assigned a Unique Personal Identification (UPI) number that they will use for the rest of their lives.
A registrar in the registration office is responsible for maintaining the data.
Kenyans will give up Ksh 200 to obtain a birth or death certificate. There is a Ksh500 late registration fee for the same certifications.
Additionally, Ksh300 will be needed for those applying for a digital ID card, and Ksh1,000 will be charged for those replacing the document.
