A death certificate is an official state document verifying a death and is issued with a unique identification number. The certificate includes the deceased's name, identification document number, and their dates of birth and death.

Without a death certificate, it is impossible to carry out any procedures related to the death, such as receiving a funeral benefit, managing the deceased's obligations, or even organizing the burial.

You need digital identification to apply for this service.
