One big reason vital records are used by the governed is if a disaster occurs so the safety of all citizens can be ensured (or they can at least be accounted for). By citizens vital statistics records are to provide a birth date and death date that is certified for legal purposes. provide names of family members to those that are misplaced and to uniquely identify a person.
