HYDERABAD: To avoid delays in issuing birth and death certificates , the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) plans to take the entire process online and has appealed to all city hospitals to upload the details on the GHMC online platform .
The GHMC’s pilot project for the online platform is being tested and it plans to roll it out soon. It has given hospitals two months to upload the details.
“We have started reviewing and issuing certificates as per the new procedure and the results are satisfactory,” a GHMC official said.
The civic body also informed that as per the new procedure, the applicants do not need to visit GHMC offices and submit the application for the certificates. In fact, the corporation would issue the certificates within a week after the hospitals uploads the details.
However, to issue a death certificate , there are two approaches. If the person dies at home, the family should take a receipt from the burial ground and submit it to the GHMC citizen service centre (CSC). After which the certificate could be obtained from Meeseva.
But in case the death is in the hospital, the management should directly enter the details online. After approval from the registrar of births and deaths, the applicant can take the certificate from Meeseva. A digital certificate can also be downloaded from the MY GHMC app.
