Summary/Abstract: Population Registers are the main official records (and reliable information) on personal status of the citizens of the Republic of Serbia and every official record maintained on the citizens or public document issued to the citizens, are based on the personal informations collected and entered into the population registers. The Law provides the presumption of correctness of those informations so that the data contained therein provides legal reliability for any and all proceedings conducted by the competent state authorities related to the exercise and/or determination of civil rights or obligations. Particularly important place in the system of pupulation registers occupies the Register of Births that records all relevant changes to the pesonal status of any citizen from its birth through its legal personality to its death and/or the loss of legal capacity of any natural person. Bearing in mind the above mentioned and in the terms of a citizen that cannot exercise any of his/her rights regarding his/her personal status before the entry of his/her birth in the Register of Births and further in the terms of the government requirements to have available correct, true and precise information about any and all its citizens, it is of particular importance to establish a most expedient solution in normative and practical terms for this right to be exercised under the rule of the law and full legal reliability. Therefore, this paper analyses the legislation, current practice and the results achieved by the competent authorities of the Republic of Serbia in solving problems of the persons born on its territory whose birth was not entered within the statutory deadline in the Register of Births by the competent registrar.
