Human inspection is the typical way that vital statistics like birth and death are recorded in most countries. The manual recording of births and deaths is laborintensive, and it is not feasible for huge populations that are growing rapidly. Erroneous birth and death registration records have the potential to create a number of difficulties, including the expense of registering a child, the possibility that both the parent and the kid may lose their registration certificate, and inaccurate demographic figures. Birth and death registration became an issue of utmost importance as a result of difficulties encountered while obtaining accurate population statistics. Accurate population statistics are essential in social service planning for any government and in ensuring that adequate resources and budgets are made available to address the needs of the populace.
