Product Features

OpenCRVS main features respond to common problems observed in civil registration systems around the world.

Full audit trail

A history of all user actions and vital event records changes is stored and can be viewed by authorised users.

Automated deduplication

To improve data quality, OpenCRVS uses an advanced matching algorithm that identifies double-entries in the system. It then automatically prompts the Registrar to review possible duplicates before registration.

Formal record correction and amendment workflows with approvals

Allows users to initiate a request for correction, which can then be reviewed and authorised by authorised personnel.

Strong security, privacy, and data protection controls

To protect data and privacy, a PIN must be entered each time the user accesses the application. Additional 2-factor authentication and SMS code are sent to the registration agent.

Built-in performance management dashboards

Allows for visualisation of key performance indicators (KPIs) on each vital event in real-time. Integration with Metabase enables implementation with minimal need for technical knowledge.

Vital event certificates as verifiable credentials

Verifiable Credentials (VCs) are digital representations of everyday "paper-based" identity documents that can be stored in digital wallets.

Integration with other government systems

Robust interoperability with systems like digital ID, health and population registries to automatically synchronise and share vital events data.

Protecting Personally Identifiable Infomation

Only authenticated users with the required permissions can access vital event records and users do not have access to PII unless they “download” the record. Once an authorised user has accessed the full record the system logs this as an action, which is then fully audited.
