crvs:CivilStatusRecord
The official written record (acte) held by a civil registration authority that attests to a vital event. In civil-law traditions, this is the persistent legal document that accumulates marginal annotations over time and from which certificates are issued. Distinct from the vital event itself (the underlying occurrence) and from certificates (the documents produced from the record on demand).
