This e-service allows Rwandans to apply for a birth record certificate. The application is either automatically processed and generated by the Civil Registration System or manually processed by local government authorities at the sector level.
Suppose the birth record is already registered in the Civil Registration System. In that case, the information about the birth record is automatically fetched, and the applicant does not fill out any other details. Applicants receive their birth records as soon as they pay. No executive secretary action is needed. The executive secretary action is only needed when the applicant is not registered in the civil registration system. When the applicant enters their email while applying for this service, the certificate is sent to their email addresses without downloading it on the IremboGov platform.
The processing time is 1 working day; the service costs Rwf 2,000.
