Civil Affairs answers top questions on editing death certificate data online
Saudi Civil Affairs has clarified the most common questions about amending death certificate information electronically via the Absher platform.
The Saudi Civil Affairs has responded to the most commonly asked questions regarding the process of editing death certificate information online through the Absher platform. The Civil Affairs Agency, under the Ministry of Interior, has detailed the frequently inquired points on the subject via its official X account. The service permits users to request amendments or corrections to several data fields on the death certificate, adhering to approved regulations and procedures.
To initiate the amendment process, supporting documents proving the correctness of the requested change must be submitted. The agency clarified the data fields that can be modified: country of death, city of death, date of death, time of death, or cause of death. Furthermore, it's possible to request corrections to more than one data field within a single application, provided they comply with the approved regulations and procedures.
Following the approval of an amendment request, a paper copy of the updated death certificate can be requested. This can be delivered through the document delivery service or the details of the request can be reviewed if the amendment is not approved.
