What forced people in 1880 Poland/Russia to register births?

Hi everyone,

I'd like to try to understand what the forces involved were regarding
registering births in Biala Podlaska and the surrounding area (Miedzericz,
Lomazy, Losice, Lukow, Siedlce, etc) around the years 1870 - 1890. I
assume that there were repercussions for boys that there weren't for girls
due to army service later in life.

What were the penalties for non-registration or late registration? Were
there penalties for false information?

I'd appreciate any and all detailed information.

TIA,
Ruvane Bernstein
