President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will sign at the beginning of the week is a decree establishing the standardization of certificates of birth across the country. According to the Special Secretariat for Human Rights (SEDH), the new documents will have a standard and unified registration.

In addition to more secure the records of birth, the decree aims to reduce the number of children born in the country who are not registered. SEDH the data show that currently 12.2% of births in Brazil do not have the certificate.

The advisor of Wellington SEDH Pantalone, the rates are even more worrying in the states of North and Northeast. In Roraima, for example, 40.1% of births in 2007 were not recorded, while in Amapá, the percentage reached 33.3%.

Pantalone explained that the goal of government is passing the data of the Declaration of Born Alive (DNV) with records of birth certificate to map the locations where there is greater concentration of so-called sub-records.

In an interview with G1, he said that in many states, there is a disparity in the relationship between the total issued and DNV (index measured according to information passed by the public and private hospitals in the country). It is from that because it estimates the number of people not registered.

CNJ

The data that should be present in all certificates will be defined by the National Council of Justice (CNJ), an agency which should also set a time for cartórios fit the new standards.

With a single registration throughout the country, Pantalone mentioned that you can get duplicate birth certificate in the different municipalities in which the child was recorded, and even in other states.

"The new certificate was the result of a series of actions being considered by the federal government to reduce or eliminate the number of children born and not registered in the country," said Wellington Pantalone.

The advisor of the Secretariat of Human Rights pointed to the absence of a notary in a number of cities and long distances between cities located primarily in the North as the most difficult to obtain the civil registry.

Without the certificate, children are unable to exercise their fundamental rights, because there are no legally to the state.
