Abstract—In today’s digital age, the secure and immutable storage of vital records, such as birth certificates, is of paramount importance. Traditional systems for recording and managing such documents often suffer from vulnerabilities and lack trans- parency. To address these challenges, we present a web applica- tion that leverages blockchain technology to record and manage birth certificates. By utilizing a decentralized and distributed ledger, our application ensures data integrity, transparency, and increased security. This paper outlines the design, implementa- tion, and evaluation of our birth certificate recording system, highlighting its benefits for hospitals, registrars, and individuals.
