What is a death certificate used for?
In case someone dies, the relatives of this deceased person will be obliged to go to the People's Committee of the place of residence to notify the death registration. After notifying and completing the procedures for death registration, the People's Committee will return the results of the registration procedure with a death certificate.
A death certificate is used to confirm that a person has died and has completely terminated his legal relations from the time of death certificate. The death certificate is one of the legal bases to determine a number of specific issues as follows:
- Determining the time to open the inheritance, the inheritance line;
- Settlement of death regime;
- Determination of common property of husband and wife;
- Confirm your marital status when you want to register your marriage with someone else...
However, Clause 2 Article 34 of the Law on Civil Status 2014 of Vietnam stipulates that immediately after receiving papers specified in Clause 1 of this Article, if seeing that the death declaration is proper, the justice and civil status officer shall record the death declaration contents in the civil status book and together with the death declarant sign in the civil status book and report to the chairperson of the commune-level People's Committee to issue an extract to the death declarant. The justice and civil status officer shall close civil status information of the deceased person in the electronic civil status database.
According to the above regulations, now, after carrying out the procedures for death registration, the competent authority will issue a death declaration extract to the person declaring the death instead of issuing a death certificate as before.
The death certificate extract obtains information about a person's death registration in the civil status book and the death certificate extract is the same as a "copy" of the death certificate and has the same legal value as the death certificate.
