Interoperability ✎
A fully interoperable digital civil registration system is key to enabling inclusive and equitable government service delivery. ✎
✎
OpenCRVS is built using open standards, facilitating easy interoperability and data exchange with various systems. ✎
We hosted an Interoperability Hackathon at ID4Africa in May 2023 that demonstrated the value of interoperability use cases with OpenCRVS acting as the digital civil registration system. Read more about successful integrations below. ✎
Digital ID
During birth and death registration, parents and informants can use the MOSIP E-Signet application for assured identity verification with the MOSIP national identity provider and consent to share their profile information with OpenCRVS. On birth registration, the National ID system trusts the data from OpenCRVS and generates a National ID automatically. On point of death, the deceased's National ID is automatically invalidated.
Healthcare
DHIS2, OpenCRVS and OpenFn can work together to connect health services with civil registration. When a birth or death is recorded by a health worker in DHIS2, OpenFn securely transforms and sends the event details to OpenCRVS, where the relevant civil registration process can begin. OpenCRVS can then return a registration reference to DHIS2, helping health and registration teams maintain aligned records. By reducing duplicate data entry and supporting timely notification of vital events, this interoperability can strengthen the completeness and timeliness of birth and death registration, while enabling more coordinated, data-informed services across health and identity systems.
