1.0 INTRODUCTION

The project Online Birth Certificate Registration System keeping all these things in mind
provides a total solution on the field of online system. Registering a child’s birth is a critical
first step towards safeguarding lifelong protection. Promoting children’s right to birth
registration falls clearly within UNICEF’s mandate. There has been some progress, albeit
small in raising birth registration levels. Between 2000 and 2010 global birth registration
levels rose only slightly, from 58 per cent to 65 percent. Certain trends in the international
environment provide opportunities for rethinking approaches to birth registration.

Birth registration is the continuous, permanent and universal recording, within the civil
registry, of the occurrence and characteristics of births in accordance with the legal
requirements of a country. Birth registration is the official recording of a child’s birth by the
State. It is a permanent and official record of a child’s existence. Birth registration is part of
an effective civil registration system that acknowledges the person’s existence before the law,
establishes family ties and tracks the major events of an individual’s life, from live birth to
marriage and death (Cody, 2009).

Due to the benefits that accrue from using the computer system, it can be applied to solve
numerous problems. Birth rate monitoring cannot be manually achieved. An automated
software system is needed to enable instant monitoring of birth rate. This is only possible
when there is a web based or online system to register births. As the births are being
registered, a bar chart can be used to determine the rate of birth in specific regions. To
achieve this, computer programmers need to develop a software system that runs online. The
benefit of the system is that it will enable those in charge of taking statistics of birth rate to
get needed information easily and with minimal stress.
2.0 BACKGROUND
Nowadays, there Online Birth Certificate Registration System which give much benefit to
user. Although birth registration is almost complete in all developed countries, the lack of
progress on civil registration in many developing countries means that global inequalities in
birth registration are now extreme. The births of approximately 230 million children under
the age of 5 have not been registered. Of these, around 85 million are in sub-Saharan Africa,
135 million in Asia (east and south Asia and the Pacific) and the remainder in the rest of the
world. But does this matter in their lives? Birth registration may signify the beginning of the
legal contract between the individual and the State known as citizenship. Birth registration
serves as important proof of the place of birth and parentage, and while birth registration does
not in itself confer citizenship upon the child, it is often essential for its acquisition based on
each country’s laws. Birth registration may also be vital for confirmation of nationality
following tumultuous events such as armed conflict and situations of state succession. The
registration of births and acquisition of citizenship are distinct processes, however birth
registration serves as important proof of the facts that form the basis for conferral of
citizenship at birth. More specifically it establishes a legal record of where the child was born
and who his or her parents are and thus whether the child can acquire citizenship on the basis
of place of birth (jus soli) or descent (jus sanguine). Children who are not registered are
excluded from the benefits of citizenship in ways that vary between countries. A birth
certificate may be required to obtain access to basic services such as health and education,
and it can also help to protect children from situations of exploitation and violence, such as
child marriage and child labor, and achieve convictions against those who have abused a
child.
3.0 PROBLEM IN BRIEF

The following problems were identified:

 It is difficult to determine the birth rate in different regions.

 It is time consuming to manually record birth rate information.
 It is not easy to monitor the rate of birth based on birth registration records that are
manually obtained
4.0 AIM, OBJECTIVES, SIGNIFICANCE AND SCOPE OF PROJECT

4.1 AIM AND OBJECTIVE

The aim of the study is to design and implement an online birth rate monitoring information
record system with the following objectives:

 To develop an online system that can be easily used to register births.

 To develop a system that can be utilized to monitor birth rates.
 To implement a system that can be used to obtain reports of birth rate
 To develop a system that will aid easy updating of birth registration records

4.2 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT

The study is significant in the following ways:

 It will enable management of the clinic to properly maintain record of birth

registration.
 It will facilitate the easy presentation of reports pertaining to birth monitoring
 The study will serve as a useful reference

4.3 SCOPE

This study covers design and implementation of an online birth rate monitoring information
record system
5.0 RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS

5.1 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

Software Requirements deal with defining software resource requirements and pre-requisites
that need to be installed on a computer to provide optimal functioning of an application.
These requirements or pre-requisites are generally not included in the software installation
package and need to be installed separately before the software is installed.

I. Supported Application Server and Web Server

 Apache (Wamp Server)

Wamp server refers to software stack for the Microsoft windows operating system,
create by RomainBourd and consisting of the Apache web server, open SSL Support,
MYSQL database and PHP Programming language by running a local Apache web
server on a Windows machine, a web developer can test Web pages in a web browser
without publishing them live on the Internet.WAMP also includes MYSQL and PHP,
which are two of the most common technology used for creating dynamic websites.

II. HTML 5 (2014)

 HTML is the standard markup language for creating Web pages.

 HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.
 HTML describes the structure of web pages using markup.
 HTML elements are the building blocks of HTML pages.
 HTML elements are represented by tags
 HTML tags label pieces of content such as “heading”, “paragraph”, “table” and so on.
 Browsers do not display the HTML tags, but use them to render the content of the
page.
III. Database

SQL Server 2014

SQL can be defined as Structured Query Language. SQL is the most commonly used
database query language. In 1970; SQL was developed in IBM research laboratories. It
includes retrieval, manipulation, and administration of data stored in tabular form. SQL
follows such principles in designing.

IV. Supported Operating Systems

a. Windows 7
b. Windows 8
c. Windows vista

V. CSS Version3

o CSS stands for Cascading Styles Sheets

 CSS describes how HTML elements are to be displayed on screen, paper or in other
media.
 CSS saves a lot of work. It can control the layout of multiple web pages all at once.
 External style sheets are stored in CSS files.

VI. PHP Version 7.0

Stands for “Hypertext Preprocessor”. ( It is a recursive acronym, if you can

understand what that means) PHP is an HTML-embedded Web scripting language.
This means PHP code can be inserted into the HTML of a Web page. When a PHP
page is accessed, the PHP code is read or “parsed” by the server the page resides on.
PHP SESSIONS.

VII. Client (only selected browsers)

 Internet Explorer
 Firefox
 Chrome
VIII. Adobe Photoshop-CS6

Is a raster graphics editor developed and published by adobe Inc. for macOS and windows to
the point that Photoshop has become a generic trademark leading to its use as a verb such as a
verb such as to Photoshop an image through Adobe discourage such use.

It can edit and compose raster images in multiple layers and supports masks, alpha
compositing and several color models including RGB, CMYK, CIELAB, Spot color and
duotone. Photoshop has vast support for graphic file formats but also uses its own PSD and
PSB file formats which support all the aforementioned features. In addition to raster graphics,
it has limited abilities to edit or render text, vector graphics (especially through clipping
path), 3D graphics and video.

Photoshop’s feature sent can be expended by Photoshop plug-ins, programs developed and
distributed independently of Photoshop that can run inside it and offer new or enhanced
features.
