ABSTRACT
A birth certificate is becoming one of the crucial documents a Kenyan must possess. For instance,
it is becoming a requirement for standard eight pupils and form four students to produce a birth
certificate, in which a copy will be send to Kenya National Examination Council, for them to be
registered as candidates. Similarly, most institutions require a birth certificate for identification
purposes if one is not an adult also when processing identification card you have to produce the
document. It is also an important document when people are travelling abroad because it shows the
nationality of someone.
A problem normally arises when applicants are many especially prior to registration of national
examinations. The office of Registrar of Births is therefore flooded by a multitude of applicants
during this period. Apart from long queues, the process is normally slow and expensive since more
workers are employed. There is also lack of fairness due to cases of corruption whereby the greedy
rich bribe the workers for their applications to be processed immediately. The poor citizen will
persevere the long queues only to be told to collect the birth certificates in a month’s time or more.
The main cause of the above problems is that we still use the manual system in the application
process.
Therefore, to maintain smooth and fast application of a birth certificate, there is rapid need for
development of an Online Birth Certificate Registration System (OBCRS) that can automate and
simplify these activities. I have therefore developed OBCRS to cater for this compelling need.
