Registration of Births and Deaths Bill

The Registration of Births and Deaths Bill 2021 aims to streamline and update the system for reporting and registering births, deaths, and stillbirths in Singapore. It provides for necessary reporting and registration protocols for events occurring both within and outside the country, including additional requirements for adoptions and legitimacy cases. The Bill also introduces new offences and penalties associated with non-compliance, enhances enforcement powers, and repeals the previous Registration of Births and Deaths Act. Lastly, it includes provisions for consequential amendments to related legislation.
