What is a Death Certificate?

A death certificate is an official document issued by a government authority that declares the cause, date, and place of a person’s death. It serves as legal proof of death and is essential for various legal and administrative processes, such as settling the deceased’s estate, claiming life insurance benefits, and transferring property ownership. The certificate includes information about the deceased person and the circumstances of their death, and is typically signed by a physician and an official registrar.
