What is a death certificate and why you need it
A death certificate is the official legal record of a person's death — the date, place and fact of death. Beyond being a legal requirement, it is the document the family needs to move forward with practical matters: inheritance and property, insurance claims, family pension, provident fund, and closing or transferring bank accounts. We understand this is a difficult time, so we handle the paperwork quietly and quickly on your behalf — order online, free, and pay only after the certificate is in hand.

Who issues the death certificate in Delhi?
In Delhi, death certificates are issued by the local body that covers the place of death — the MCD or the NDMC. The right authority depends on where the death took place. We identify the correct office and apply there for you.

How to apply for a death certificate in Delhi
Online (MCD / e-District). The application is made on the MCD portal under Registration of Birth & Death, with the death details and the required documents; a copy can then be downloaded for a nominal fee. In person, it can be applied for at the concerned municipal office. In most cases the hospital or cremation ground reports the death, and the family then applies for the certificate. We handle the application and the follow-up so you do not have to deal with the office at a hard time — order the service and we take it from there, free to order.

Late / delayed death registration
Every death should be registered within 21 days. If it was not, it is processed as a delayed registration — with a late fee and, after 30 days, an affidavit. Registrations after one year require a magistrate / SDM order through the e-District system. Families often discover the need for a death certificate months or years later, when settling property or a claim — and this is exactly the kind of delayed case we handle, including the magistrate order. Order the delayed-registration service, free to order, pay after work.

Correcting a mistake
Mistakes in the name, date or spelling are corrected through the municipal body with supporting documents and, in many cases, an affidavit. Because families rely on this certificate for claims and property, the details must be exactly right — we handle the correction so it matches the other records.

The legal-heir / surviving-member certificate
After the death certificate, families usually need a legal-heir or surviving-member certificate to actually claim a pension, insurance, property or bank balances in the name of the heirs. We handle both together, so you have everything the banks, offices and courts will ask for — order the legal-heir certificate alongside the death certificate, free to order.

NRIs and deaths in other cities
Much of the process — the application, follow-up and document handling — is done online, so NRIs can have it managed on their behalf, and we coordinate with the concerned office and deliver the certificate. If the death took place elsewhere, we advise on the right authority and route.

Common mistakes (and how we prevent them)
The usual problems: leaving registration until much later and being stuck in delayed / magistrate procedures; a spelling that does not match the deceased's other documents (which then blocks a claim); applying to the wrong municipal body; or not obtaining the legal-heir certificate the banks will also demand. Because we handle these matters every day, we apply to the right office, get the magistrate order where needed, correct details, and arrange the legal-heir certificate — so the family can settle everything smoothly. We handle it with care and discretion. Order the death certificate now — free, pay only after the work is done.
