The competence belongs to the civil status officer within the Satu Mare Commune City Hall, in whose area the death occurred or the body was found.

The death certificate is completed within 3 days from the date of death, including both the day the death occurred and the day the declaration is made.

Required documents: a) the medical certificate confirming the death; original, b) birth certificate and marriage certificate of the deceased, as applicable; original and copy, c) identity document of the deceased; original d) military booklet of the deceased; original - if applicable, e) photocopy of the declarant's identity document f) prosecutor's approval in case the death is due to suicide, accident, or other violent causes (the declaration must be made within 48 hours), as well as in situations where the death was not declared and registered within the legal term/ original

In cases where the declarant cannot present the civil status certificates and/or the identity document of the deceased, he/she must declare in writing the reason for not presenting them, as well as the civil status data of the deceased.

Upon issuing the death certificate, the civil status officer also issues the declarant a burial or cremation certificate, in a single copy.

The burial or cremation of a Romanian citizen whose death occurred and was registered abroad is carried out based on the burial or cremation certificate issued by the city hall in whose territorial area the burial or cremation will take place.

Attention!

Before declaring the death, we recommend that you photocopy the medical certificate confirming the death, as this document is the primary document underlying the registration of the death certificate and, therefore, no xerox copies can be issued afterwards (after registration).
