Nigerians now have the ability to register births and deaths and obtain official certificates through a new online system, eliminating the requirement to travel to physical offices. The National Population Commission (NPC) has officially introduced VitalReg, a platform created to simplify access to civil registration tasks.
Users can perform various functions on the site, including registering life events, requesting birth attestations, updating existing records, and verifying certificate authenticity. This initiative aims to minimize the bureaucratic hurdles and long waiting times often linked to manual registration methods.
To utilize the service, individuals should navigate to the official NPC self-service portal, select their required category, and input their personal data with care. It is essential to double-check all information against supporting documents before submission to prevent mistakes. Those who struggle with the online portal may still seek support at any NPC registration facility across the country. This project serves as a major step toward digitizing identity documents, which are vital for accessing education, healthcare, banking, and government social programs.
