Property Type Definition
Identifiers from Event concept:Identifier
Identifiers carried by this entity, such as national ID numbers, program IDs, or identifiers asserted by an identity document.
Event date date
The date on which the vital event (birth, death, marriage, etc.) occurred. Distinct from the registration date, which is when the event was recorded by a registration authority.
Event date estimated boolean
Whether the event date is an estimate rather than a known exact date. Common for late-registered births or deaths where the precise date is not documented.
Event location concept:Location
The specific place where the vital event occurred (for example, the hospital of birth or the place of death). Distinct from the registration location, which is where the event was recorded.
Registration date date
The date on which the vital event was officially registered with the civil registration authority. May be later than the event date, especially for late registrations.
Registration location concept:Location
The civil registration office where the vital event was registered. Often a municipal or district-level registry distinct from the place of occurrence.
Registration type string (crvs/registration-type)
The regime under which the registration was processed: current (within the legal window), late, court-ordered, or reconstruction of a lost record. Affects legal weight and downstream uses.
Registrar concept:crvs/Person includes Parent
The civil registration officer who recorded the event. In many jurisdictions this is the officer whose signature appears on the acte.
Informant concept:crvs/Person includes Parent
The person who declares the vital event to the civil registration authority. Typically a parent for births, a relative or medical professional for deaths, or the parties themselves for marriages.

Evidence

Standard Equivalent Match
OpenCRVS v2 event service EventDocument close
EventDocument is the generic event envelope in v2 (id, type, trackingId, createdAt, updatedAt, actions). VitalEvent and EventDocument share the role of the occurrence entity; the correspondence is close but EventDocument carries no domain fields at the core level.
