This article contains a translation of Burgerlijke stand from nl.wikipedia.

The article states that "France was the first country to create a national Registration". This is not accurate, maybe France was the first country in Europe. China for instance had such systems established since pre-dynastic era (read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hukou#History).

The term Civil Registry is not commonly used in Great Britain. The normal, and widely-used term is Civil Registration, where birth, marriage and deaths certificates are recorded in local registers at a local Registrar's office. While Scotland has a different historical set of operating procedures from that of England and Wales, the terminology utilised is identical in both these jurisdictions. Northern Ireland [Ulster] has had a similar history for registration, and uses much the same terminology. The Republic of Ireland, having started with a UK basis, will also, in my opinion, be using the same terminology. So, the UK and Ireland user is most likely to not be looking for a term such as Civil Registry, and instead will be looking for Civil Registration. If Civil Registry is the usual term in the USA, then perhaps the heading ought to be "Civil Registry or Civil Registration" or, putting it another way "Civil Registry/Civil Registration".

The UK General Register Office is part of Her Majesty's Passport Office and oversees civil registration in England and Wales.

• ``Agree`` They are basically the same thing. To start this process please include missing info from Family register into Civil registration and any editors working on this please make sure sure article quality is maintained or improved. DownTownRich (talk) 01:44, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• @Ajfweb: Wow this is almost one year old. So they aren't quite the same thing if I'm reading this correctly: "A family register is a type of civil register..." I poked around and I think they are separate articles partly because there are a lot of family registry systems, such as koseki (Japan) or hukou (China), some of which have their own articles.

I think putting "family registration" as a subsection of "civil registration" wouldn't be an issue, as long as it doesn't make the result too long. Fredlesaltique (talk) 13:14, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
