==Instructions==<br />
<br />
Birth registration is made more challenging by the high number of home births in Afghanistan <br />
<br />
Births that take place in a hospital are much more likely to be registered<br />
<br />
Birth certificates are rare in Afghanistan<br />
<br />
<br />
==Required Information==<br />
<br />
*Name of the child<br />
*Date of birth<br />
*Names of the parents<br />
*City and province of birth<br />
*The date, name and signature of the certifying Registrar, Acting Registrar or Secretary, and the office seal.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Need for the Document==<br />
<br />
Population registration was first introduced in the Ministry of Interior in 1922 under the name of the Statistics Office.<br />
<br />
Citizens do not routinely register births or apply for a tazkira, unless they need one to go to school or university or to obtain a passport<br />
As a consequence, there is not a consistent and reliable system of population registration in the country at the moment, and the true population of Afghanistan is unknown.<br />
