Registration of Death

The Office of the City Civil Registrar does not provide downloadable forms. Instead, we offer a streamlined online registration process using our online registration forms to ensure a more efficient and hassle-free experience

WHY ONLINE REGISTRATION?

As part of the Bagong Pilipinas initiative, we are committed to making government services digital for greater accessibility and efficiency. By allowing clients to register online, we minimize paperwork and speed up processing to ensure a smoother experience for the following services:

✅ Birth & Death Registration

✅ Application for Marriage License

✅ "Maling Dokumento Mo, Iwasto Ko" (MDMIK)

✅ eRehistro: Batang Tagumenyo (For Pregnant Women only)

✅ Request for Printing of Marriage Certificate (For Solemnizing Officers only)

Additionally, once you submit your application, we will send a draft Birth/Death/Marriage Certificate, along with the requirements and fees, to the Messenger account you provided during registration for verification. This allows you to review and confirm details in advance, reducing errors and ensuring a faster process when you visit our office.

WHAT IS DEATH?

Death is the “permanent disappearance of evidence of life” at any time after live birth has taken place.

On the other hand, Fetal Death refers to the “death prior to the complete expulsion of a product of conception, irrespective of the period of pregnancy”. The death is indicated by the fact that after such separation, the fetus does not breathe nor show any other evidence of life, such as the beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord or definite movement of voluntary muscles.
