Apply for Death Certificate

Death Registration

The extracts of the particulars from the register relating to deaths are to be given to an informant as noted above within thirty days from the date of its reporting. If the informant fails to collect the extracts of the registration of death, then the registrar would transmit the same to the concerned family by post within fifteen days of the expiry of the thirty-day period.

Registration of Deaths of missing persons

For registration of deaths, information on the date and place of death of a person is required. But, in case of a missing person, her or his death is presumptive where the actual date of death and place of death cannot be ascertained. Since the Registration of Death Act and Rules is silent on the question of determination of the date and place of death of a missing person, the date and place determined by the court in a declaratory suit as may be filed for this purpose can be relied upon.

Issue of Certificate

A person can obtain an extract from the register relating to a death on payment of a fee of Rs.5/-. Such extracts are to be issued in Form 6 in case of death. The Registrar should not only issue the first copy of the birth or death certificate free of charge but also should do so as soon as the registration is completed.

Required Documents

  1. Proof of birth of the deceased
  2. An affidavit specifying the date and time of death
  3. A copy of the ration card for proof of identity
