Civil Affairs outlines which death certificate details can be amended via Absher

Saudi Civil Affairs has provided clarification on which details of a death certificate can be amended electronically through the Absher platform and the necessary procedures for submitting such requests. The agency's official X account addressed common inquiries about the electronic amendment of death certificate data. To support a requested amendment, documents confirming the correctness of the change must be submitted.

Individuals can request modifications to multiple details, such as the country of death, city of death, date of death, time of death, or cause of death, within a single application. The Civil Affairs Agency confirmed that it is possible to request changes to more than one aspect of the certificate in the same application, provided it complies with established regulations and procedures.

Following approval of the amendment request, applicants may request a paper copy of the revised certificate, which can be delivered via the document delivery service. Alternatively, they can opt to have the application details reviewed if the request is not approved.
