The proposed Philippine Civil Registry Act would create a new national agency to manage a single, free, and digital system for recording births, deaths, marriages and other legal events, linking it to the country’s ID database. It requires every birth, death and marriage to be registered at no cost within 30 days, and sets penalties of up to 12 years in prison for falsifying records. Local barangays, city and municipal offices, courts, and Philippine embassies abroad would all help collect and upload the data.
