Death Certificate
Register and obtain a death certificate — the key that unlocks succession and claims. A death certificate is mandatory to settle inheritance, close bank / insurance / pension accounts and transfer property. Delays and errors stall every claim during an already-hard time. NOS handles registration, corrections and multiple certified copies, sensitively and remotely.
Understand the service
What we can help with
A death is registered with the local Registrar of Births & Deaths, and a certificate is issued from that record. Getting a certified copy of an already-registered death is straightforward and fixed-price. Other situations take more work: registering a death that was never registered (within 21 days is routine; up to a year needs a permission; over a year needs a magistrate order), correcting a name or date, searching for an old record in a manual register, or getting the certificate apostilled / attested for use abroad. We assess your case honestly and tell you the realistic route and timeline before any work begins.
How it works on the ground
The government process is scattered across portals, offices and paperwork. NOS turns it into one guided flow.
The reality on the ground
What you face today in TG & AP
Registered with the municipality / panchayat where the death occurred; late registration needs extra approvals.
Correct spelling, date and address must match other records or downstream claims are rejected.
Multiple certified copies are needed at once — bank, insurer, registrar, court.
Grieving families abroad struggle to complete counter formalities in India.

What we handle
How it works
- 01Step 1
Tell us what happened
A short, gentle questionnaire — where and when, and what you need. If the death is already registered, getting a certified copy is quick and fixed-price.
- 02Step 2
Case Manager assigned
A dedicated Case Manager is assigned and you can message them before you pay. For sensitive or legal cases they'll explain the realistic path clearly.
- 03Step 3
We handle the offices
We retrieve or register the record with the Registrar of Births & Deaths (municipality / GP / GHMC), and coordinate hospital, police or magistrate steps where needed.
- 04Step 4
Certificate delivered
DeliveredYou receive the certified certificate in your dashboard — and, if you need it abroad, apostilled / attested and couriered overseas.
What you'll typically need
- Where and when the death occurred (the place decides the authority)
- Whether it was already registered, and the registration number if you have it
- Any hospital / doctor certificate, and an ID of the deceased
- Your ID and relationship to the deceased (informant details)
Don't have everything to hand? That's alright. Share what you can — your Case Manager will tell you exactly what's needed and, where records are missing, help you trace them.
