Question NW3471 to the Minister of Home Affairs
08 November 2022 - NW3471
van der Merwe, Ms LL to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
What total number of notices of birth were issued by his department to migrants who have given birth in the Republic in the past 10 years?
Reply:
The Department does not keep statistics of the manually issued notices of birth to migrants as there’s no provision on the National Population Register (NPR) to register such notices.
The Live Capture birth register module has been designed to capture such information in the future once birth registration migrate from NPR to Live Capture.
