In the longer term, a civil registration process is needed, which would provide more reliable base documents (such as a birth certificate or I.D), against which checks could be made. There would need to be a permanent civil registry in place for updates to be made, in particular deaths. One of the advantages of a civil registry is that information can be extracted from it for different services or Ministries, such as education, health and taxes. Another is that it provides a permanent structure for the election administration, which is in this way always ready for elections.
