Summary:

The project Nascer Cidadão (To be born a citizen) allows every new born to be automatically and immediately registered in the hospitals and public maternities. This prevents parents from being forced into bureaucracy and helps to detect any kind of vulnerabilites and special needs of certain communities, parents and their children
