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

The death certificate is drawn up 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) original medical death certificate; b) birth and marriage certificate of the deceased, as applicable; original and copy, c) identity card of the deceased; original d) military booklet of the deceased; original - if applicable, e) photocopy of the declarant's identity card f) approval from the prosecutor's office if the death was due to suicide, accident or other violent causes (the declaration must be made within 48 hours), as well as if 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 card of the deceased person, he/she must declare in writing the reason for their absence, as well as the civil status data of the deceased.

Along with the issuance of the death certificate, the civil status officer will issue the declarant a single copy of the burial or cremation permit.

The burial or cremation of a Romanian citizen whose death occurred and was registered abroad is done on the basis of the burial or cremation permit issued by the city hall in whose territorial area the burial or cremation is to take place.

Attention!

Before declaring the death, we recommend photocopying the medical death certificate, as this document is the primary document that forms the basis for the registration of the death certificate and, therefore, after registration, no more xerox copies can be issued.
