The medical certificate of death and the civil death certificate are different.

The medical certificate records the confirmation of death. The civil death certificate is issued by the registry office and is needed for various further procedures.

We help you apply and discuss which copies you need. Fixed quantities and general deadlines do not belong in a general checklist.

International coordination is handled through IMTO Network. A dedicated operator coordinates procurement of the necessary documents and preparation for collection. We clarify the exact requirements based on the deceased person's location and the transfer destination.
