FAQ
What is the territorial jurisdiction criterion for late death registration?
Late death registration may be requested at the Civil Registry of Natural Persons at the place of death or the deceased's last domicile. This option aims to facilitate citizen access to regularization.
How does late death registration work when the person died in another city?
When death occurs in a municipality other than the domicile, the interested party can approach the Civil Registry of Natural Persons of their domicile or the event's city. The administrative procedure verifies facts prior to entry creation.
