When someone dies, those left behind have many things to sort out. You will need to settle the inheritance and notify the relevant authorities of the death.
A death certificate certifies a person's death and shows the date and time of death and other information about the person, such as place of birth and first and last name. The certificate is submitted to the National Register and serves as evidence of the person's death for the family. If you need to terminate your lease or other obligations.
If someone dies in the country of their birth and their family members also live in that country, a death certificate issued by the competent local authority is sufficient evidence to deal with inheritances, pension funds, etc. However, if a person dies overseas, a certificate in the national language is often not sufficient evidence when dealing with inheritance issues, pension funds, etc., and an international certificate or certified translation is required.
Death certificate translation and certification
When a person dies overseas, the death certificate must be translated and officially certified in order for it to be legally valid. Certified translations of death certificates cannot be performed by translators, as only sworn translators or (in some countries) translation companies and notaries can perform official translations. Therefore, for a death certificate translation to be valid as official evidence, it must be processed by an agency approved for this purpose.
