The Document is required
It is a lawful obligation in Madagascar that each death that occurs within the State must be documented and recorded. Death records in Madagascar are kept in the General Register Office, which is the central repository for information on births, marriages and deaths in Madagascar.
Information that can be useful
- A doctor has to be confident with the causes of death before they can officially certify the cause of death. If the doctor didn’t meet with the deceased for at minimum 28 days prior to the time the death took place or if he/she’s not satisfied with the cause of death they must inform a Coroner who will determine whether a postmortem is required.
- If the deceased’s death occurred as due to an accident or unnatural or violent circumstances, the coroner should be informed.
- There is a possibility of delay in the registration of a deceased in the event that a postmortem was completed. The death will be registered automatically after there is an inquiry or postmortem has been scheduled on the instruction by the coroner.
- The Coroner issues a certification to the Registrar that contains all the information needed to be recorded. Deaths must be registered early and not later than 3 months after the date of death.
- You must obtain an authorization in writing from the Registrar General in order to register any death not registered within a year.
