Register a Marriage

Marriage in the NDRC requires prior approval from the Department of Citizen Services. Both parties must meet eligibility requirements and register the marriage within 30 days of the ceremony.

Eligibility requirements

• Both parties must hold valid CARL-IDs
• Both parties must have CDI scores above 500
• Neither party may be under active security investigation
• Neither party may have outstanding chargeability non-compliance
• Both parties must have completed Annual Loyalty Verification for the current year
• Marriage approval certificate must be obtained prior to ceremony

Marriage approval process

1. Submit joint application through this portal
2. Background compatibility check (automated, 7-14 days)
3. District administrator review and approval
4. Marriage approval certificate issued (valid for 90 days)
5. Ceremony conducted by state-approved registrar
6. Marriage registered through this portal within 30 days

Effects of marriage

Upon registration, the following systems are automatically updated:

• CARL-ID records for both parties
• CivicVault family unit record created
• Housing allocation eligibility recalculated
• Combined CDI score assessment initiated
• Tax and energy allocation adjusted
• Emergency contact records updated

Important

Marriages contracted outside the NDRC or without prior state approval are not recognised. Cohabitation without marriage registration for more than 12 months is a compliance violation.

Register a Birth

All births within the NDRC must be registered within 14 days. Registration automatically generates a CARL-ID for the newborn and enrolls them in the national citizen database.

Required information

• Hospital birth certificate or midwife attestation
• CARL-ID numbers of both parents
• Chosen name (must comply with the Approved Names Register)
• Residential address for registration
• Employment details of primary caregiver

The Approved Names Register

All children born in the NDRC must be given names from the Approved Names Register, maintained by the Department of Citizen Services. Names that are deemed subversive, foreign, or ideologically inappropriate are prohibited. The name "Carl" is reserved and may only be used with special dispensation from the Office of the Supreme Leader.

What happens after registration

• CARL-ID number assigned (format: CARLID-XXXXXXX)
• CarlCare patient record created
• Vaccination schedule generated
• Family unit record updated in CivicVault
• Housing allocation review triggered (if family size has changed)
• Energy allocation adjustment processed

Parental leave

State-approved parental leave is 90 days for the primary caregiver and 14 days for the secondary caregiver. Leave beyond these periods requires medical exemption approval. All parental leave is tracked through COMPASS and affects chargeability records.
