Online birth, death certificates
By next week, the Coimbatore Corporation is likely to
make available online birth and death certificates. The move comes a
month after the deadline the Corporation had fixed for introducing the
services. According to sources, by clicking html (hyper text mark up
language) links at the Corporation website, users will be taken to pages
where they could choose if they want birth or death certificates. Once
the data entered is verified and found to be true, the Corporation would
display the certificate with a digital signature.
The
users could then take printouts of the certificates to be used as
official document or furnish the same as document of evidence.
As
a run up to making available online the facility, the Corporation had
computerised the records from 1981 to 2011, which worked out to nine
lakh birth certificates and six lakh death certificates.
