Questions and instructions
Literal question
Does (name) have a birth certificate? May I see it?
Post question
If answer is 1 > Go to question BR5
Interviewer instructions
This question aims to provide an estimate of the extent of birth registration in your country. Respondents must be assured that the information about individual families will never be given to authorities, and that they cannot be identified in any way.

Ask to see the birth certificate. Circle the appropriate code corresponding, noting whether or not the certificate was seen. If the child has a birth certificate and it was seen, circle '1' and skip to BR5. If he/she does not have a birth certificate (3), or if the child has a birth certificate but the mother/primary caretaker is unable to show you the certificate (2), continue to the next question.
