• at the moment, ethnic nationality is not indicated in the certificates of the registry office. If information about nationality is included in the vital record, then it can be reflected in extracts from the register

• in the 1950s-1960s, no data on patronymic and place of birth were entered in vital records of birth – this information will also be absent in the new certificates of the new sample (there will be lines in these fields of the document)

• place of birth / marriage / divorce / death, etc. in new certified copies are indicated in accordance with the administrative-territorial division at the moment.

The old 490 districts were liquidated by the parliament.
