Chad Civil Registration

Offices to Contact
The country lacks centralized archives of civil registration information. As a result, civil registration records are scattered across the country in thousands of bureaus.

Historical Background
Civil registration in Chad dates back to 1961. In 2002, Chad created a national ID database with birth information.
