Regjistri

Regjistri is a structured collection of records maintained by authorities or organizations to document information about people, property, businesses, or events for legal and administrative purposes. The term is used across different sectors to describe official registers that establish rights, verify identity, or support governance.

Common types include civil registries for vital records (births, deaths, marriages), population registries for residents and addresses, land or property registries documenting ownership and encumbrances, and corporate registries containing information on companies and legal forms. Other specialized registries include vehicle registries, tax registries, and health registries. Digital registries increasingly rely on interoperable databases to enable data sharing and streamlined processes.

Regjistrat are typically administered by government agencies or designated bodies under national law. They operate under privacy and data protection rules, regulate access to data, and define purposes for which information may be used. Sharing between registries and with authorized third parties is common to support services, statistics, and enforcement, subject to safeguards.

Significance: Registries provide legal proof of rights and status, enable public administration and planning, support taxation and social programs, and supply data for research and policy. They have increasingly digital and interoperable systems, enabling more efficient verification and cross-agency use.
