crvs:Civil Status Annotation

https://publicschema.org/crvs/CivilStatusAnnotation

draft

A marginal annotation (mention marginale) added to a civil status record to reflect a later vital event or administrative change. Examples include a marriage noted on the birth record of a spouse, a divorce noted on a marriage record, or a court-ordered correction. The annotation mechanism is how civil-law registries maintain a coherent civil identity over time without rewriting the original acte.

Evidence

Standard Equivalent Match
OpenCRVS v2 event service No v1 equivalent none
OpenCRVS v2 has no reified marginal-annotation type. Corrections flow through the correction action sequence (REQUEST_CORRECTION/APPROVE_CORRECTION) recorded in the action log, which is a trail of actions rather than a typed annotation with its own authority and triggering event.
