Birth And Death Certificates In 48 Hrs At Indore Municipal Corporation Zones

Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) has launched an expedited process for issuing birth and death certificates within 48 hours, if feasible. The system now operates through the corporation's 22 zonal offices, rather than the central headquarters. PDF copies of the certificates will be directly sent to the registered mobile number of the affected family member.

Zonal officers have been instructed by Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav and Municipal Commissioner Kshitij Singhal to expedite the processing and availability of certificates, targeting a completion time of 48 hours. Upon receiving birth and death information from private hospitals, crematoriums, and cemeteries within each zone, this data is entered and approved on the Civil Registration System (CRS) portal, ideally on the same day.

Once approved, the certificate is dispatched in PDF format to the registered mobile number. Private hospitals in various zones are required to submit birth and death data to the civic body daily. Registration personnel collect the data and forward it to the relevant staff for processing. Offline applications are recorded in the office inward register, given an inward number, and a date.

A computer operator enters the application online through the Indore 311 app, and the certificate is issued in PDF format after approval within the specified timeframe. The corporation has also mandated that officials complete corrections to birth and death certificates within 48 hours, provided supporting documents are verified.

The corrected certificate will be provided in PDF format. Supervisors at crematoriums and cemeteries are instructed to submit death notification forms to the appropriate zonal office daily, together with the mobile number and details of the deceased's family member. This information is then entered into the CRS portal and processed to ensure the timely delivery of the death certificate to the family.
