Is NOC required for death certificate, and who can provide?
In the event of my mother's death, will an NOC be required from my end for the issuance/registration of the death certificate? If so, can another relative (nephew) give the NOC, or is it mandatory that only the child of the deceased can give the NOC and obtain the death certificate? Also, what is the purpose of the NOC?
A No Objection Certificate (NOC) is typically not required for obtaining a death certificate, as it is the legal right of the deceased's family to register it. While the application is usually made by the closest relatives, another family member, such as a nephew, can apply, but local authorities may request an NOC from the immediate family to ensure there are no objections from legal heirs. The NOC serves to confirm that all parties agree to the issuance of the death certificate. It is advisable to check with the local municipal authority for specific requirements in your area.
A No Objection Certificate (NOC) is generally not required for issuing a death certificate as it is a legal document issued by the municipal authority based on hospital or local records. The death certificate is usually applied for by the closest family member, such as a spouse or child, but if another relative (like a nephew) applies, authorities may ask for an NOC from the immediate family. The purpose of an NOC, if required, is to confirm that the legal heirs have no objection to the relative applying for the certificate. It is best to check with the local municipal office for specific requirements.
An NOC is not usually required for death registration. If the child can't register, a relative like a nephew can provide the NOC. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
