OCTOBER 18 SAGA: WUM COUNCIL PUTS SMILES ON VICTIMS' FACES.



In every Council, the Civil Status department is the most sensitive office. This is because it deals with documents that deal with people’s life. Here, documents such as birth certificates, marriage Certificates, death Certificates, single status or Certificate of celibacy, Authenticity and Certification are produced.

 

A birth certificate is a vital record that documents the birth of a person. The term "birth certificate" can refer to either the original document certifying the circumstances of the birth or to a certified copy of or representation of the ensuing registration of that birth. Depending on the jurisdiction, a record of birth might or might not contain verification of the event by such as a midwife or doctor.

 

Your birth certificate serves as official proof of your age and identity. You may not realize that your birth certificate is much more than just a piece of paper with your name on it. Your birth certificate is quite literally your proof that you are a citizen of your country.

The process of acquiring a birth certificate is a mandatory requirement under Cameroon law. Acquiring a birth certificate is a fundamental right of every child recognized by national as well as international law.


Cognizance of the importance of this precious document, Wum Council has distributed over 50 birth certificate produced free for the benefit of victims of the sad incidents that happened on October 18th 2021 in Wum municipality. The sad incident caused untold damages and many lost valuable documents among which birth certificates. Wum Council intends to continue with such actions as persons with disabilities are next in line.

Speaking during the distribution ceremony, the Secretary General of the Wum Council, Ekom Ivorsmith Akwo, cautioned the beneficiaries to jealously preserve the new birth certificates for their future use.



On their part, the happy recipients showered praises on the Lord Mayor of Wum Council for such a timely gesture, given the fact that these birth certificates are produced at a time when children are registering for various examinations.
