Is it possible to apply for state registration of death if the deadlines are missed, and what are the consequences?

1. Possibility to submit an application after missing the deadlines:

• An application for state registration of death can be submitted even after the deadlines have been missed. The law does not prohibit state registration of death in such circumstances.

2. Terms and conditions for filing an application:

• No later than 3 days: after the death or discovery of the body.
• No later than 5 days: if it is impossible to obtain a medical certificate or a paramedic certificate of death.
• Up to 1 year: registration is carried out at the deceased's place of residence, place of death or burial.
• After 1 year: registration is possible upon availability of
• a doctor's death certificate;
• a paramedic's certificate of death.

3. Additional checks in case of missed deadlines:

• In case of application after the deadline, the registration authority checks the absence of state registration of death:
• at the place of residence of the deceased;
• at the place of death;
• at the place of burial or discovery of the body;
• in the State Register of Civil Status Acts.

4. If the documents are missing:

• In the absence of the necessary documents (medical certificate or paramedic certificate), the fact of death must be established in court.

5. Consequences of missing the deadlines:

• Lack of state registration of death can complicate the process of inheritance, obtaining a burial allowance, and other legal actions that require confirmation of the fact of death.

It is recommended that you contact the Civil Registry Office or a lawyer to clarify the details and prepare the documents correctly.
