Registration and Issue of Birth and Death Certificates :
You are legally required to register births and deaths that take place in your family under Registration of Births & Deaths Act 1969 revised as on 2001.. The Health Department of Municipal Corporation of Srinagar has been authorized to register these events and issue certificates to you for events that take place in the jurisdiction of SMC. You would need these certificates for getting your children admitted in schools and for the purpose of inheriting the assets of the person who has passed away.

Procedure for registering birth and death :
1. Births and Deaths can take place anywhere. However they normally occur either in hospitals or in your home. When these events happen in any institution such as hospital, jail, hostel, lodging, or in a public transport or in any home for women, these events are called institutional. When these events take place in your home or in a building that cannot be called an institution, then these events are called non-institutional.
2. The procedure for registering institutional and non-institutional events is different. In case of institutional events it is the primary responsibility of the head of the institution to inform SMC about the event that has taken place in it. He does that in a form that has been prescribed. These forms are freely available in all hospitals and are supplied free of cost by SMC. Alternatively the form can also be collected from any Ward office free of cost. The form has two sections. One portion of the form deals with legal information. The other portion is about statistical information. Both the portions of the form have to be filled in completely before the certificates can be issued to you.
3. You would have to provide the information necessary to fill in both these portions to the head of the institution so that the information is correctly filled in by him. For reporting non-institutional events, the law authorizes the head of the family or the nearest relative to inform the event to the municipal office. You would need to fill in the form and submit it to the nearest registration centre viz. Ward Officer or Head Office SMC. For information about the location of registration centre that is closest to your home you may contact the Ward Office Addresses.
