The Minister of the Interior recently issued a new circular aimed at activating the provisions of the Civil Status Law, marking a significant step in addressing the legal and administrative challenges faced by citizens and civil status officers in registering births and deaths.
This circular comes after a period of anticipation, as many courts had been issuing rulings of “lack of jurisdiction” in cases related to the registration of births and deaths beyond the legal deadline, or the correction of material errors that had crept into civil status records. Courts insisted on lack of jurisdiction in such cases unless there was evidence of registration refusal according to the provisions of the law, which assigned jurisdiction to the central authority, the Ministry of the Interior.
The new ministerial circular aims to streamline procedures by providing a model for rejecting a registration request, which citizens can use in court to obtain an urgent order requiring the civil status officer to register the birth or death, with the corresponding legal effect.
This circular is designed to relieve civil status officers who had struggled to implement certain cases due to the lack of necessary delegations or circulars from the Ministry clarifying how to apply the law. Through these guidelines, the Ministry of the Interior expects to resolve many cases that were stalled in the courts, significantly improving administrative procedures in the field of civil status.
This initiative reflects the Ministry’s commitment to simplifying procedures and ensuring justice for citizens while maintaining effective and transparent law enforcement.
