What is Death Certificate?
A death certificate is a legal document issued by the government to the nearest relative of the deceased, stating the date, fact, and cause of death. The death has to be reported within 21 days and has to be registered at the registrar concerned under The Registration of Births and Deaths Act of 1966. Any delay in registration can be condoned with a payment of nominal late fees or upon prior permission of the registrar along with an affidavit from a notary public.
