Death Registration

Death registration is the official process of recording a person's death with government authorities. It involves submitting necessary details such as the deceased's identity, cause of death, and date of passing to ensure the death is officially recognized. This documentation is essential for legal purposes like settling estates, accessing benefits, and updating vital records. Proper registration also helps governments maintain accurate statistical data on mortality, which informs public health policies. The process typically requires a certificate from a medical professional and is usually completed at local government offices or civil registration centers.
