Death Certificate Registration Process in Madhya Pradesh

Death Certificate Registration Process in Madhya Pradesh (MP) 

In Madhya Pradesh, death certificate registration is handled through the Civil Registration System (CRS) and integrated state municipal / panchayat portals. A general citizen can apply for death certificate registration online if the death details have not already been registered by a hospital or authority.

Step 1: Access the MP Death Certificate Portal

For Madhya Pradesh, death registration and certificates are processed through:

• CRS (Civil Registration System), and
• Local Municipal Corporation / Nagar Palika / Gram Panchayat systems linked with CRS

Citizens are required to access the general public login section and proceed with death registration or certificate services.

Step 2: Fill Death Registration Details

The applicant must provide basic information such as:

• Name of the deceased
• Date and place of death
• Address details
• Relationship of the applicant with the deceased

If the death occurred in a hospital, the hospital usually uploads the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death (Form 4) directly into the system.

Step 3: Upload Supporting Documents

Commonly required documents include:

• Medical Certificate of Death (hospital or doctor-issued)
• Identity proof of the applicant
• Address proof of the deceased (if available)
• Cremation or burial slip (if required by local authority)

Step 4: Submit Application & Track Status

After submission:

• An Application / Registration Number is generated
• Citizens can track death certificate status online
• Once approved, the death certificate can be downloaded online
