Bolivia Legal Analysis

Partially. Death registration includes information on date and place of occurrence, date and place of registration, cause of death, and certifier. However, the death certificate does not collect all UN-recommended variables. Missing items include the deceased’s date of birth (only age is recorded), sex, marital status, place of usual residence, and, for deaths under one year, the mother’s place of usual residence.
