Notification is the process whereby a parent or guardian or officer in charge of an institution (e.g. prison) where the event (birth) has occurred reports to a government official responsible for registration of births within 6 months of occurrence. The government officials responsible for registration of birth that occur at home are assistant chiefs while the events of birth that occur in health institutions are registered by personnel in those institutions.
