Appeal to public on registration of births and deaths

TURA, August 26, 2026: The citizens of West Garo Hills district have been urged to ensure timely registration of births and deaths as mandated under the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969, and the Meghalaya Registration of Births and Deaths Rules, 1999 (amended in 2025).

The Registration of births and deaths is carried out through the Civil Registration System (CRS) portal by designated Registration Units within their respective areas of jurisdiction. These units are generally located at Tura Municipal Board office,Government
Hospitals ,CHCs,PHCs and State Dispensaries. The Medical Officer In-Charge of the respective health facility functions as the Registrar for Births and Deaths occurring within that jurisdiction.

The public is informed that every birth or death, whether occurring in a health institution or at home, should be reported and registered free of cost within 21 days from the date of occurrence.

In cases where information is provided after 30 days but within one year of occurrence, registration can be done only with the permission of the District Registrar or the prescribed authority, upon payment of the prescribed late fee and submission of self-attested supporting documents in Form No. 14.

For births or deaths reported after one year of occurrence, registration can be carried out only after obtaining a Non-Availability Certificate from the concerned Registration Unit and on the basis of an order issued by the District Magistrate, Sub-Divisional Magistrate, or an Executive Magistrate authorized by the District Magistrate having jurisdiction over the area where the event occurred. Such registration is also subject to payment of the prescribed late fee.

Authorities have emphasized the importance of providing accurate information and supporting documents at the time of registration, as correction of errors in birth and death certificates is a lengthy process governed by statutory provisions. Accurate records are also important for medico-legal purposes.

The following documents may be required for registration: Any government-issued identity document containing the correct name and address, such as EPIC (Voter ID), ST certificate, Aadhaar card, Ration Card, Job Card, or similar documents. For institutional births or deaths occurring in hospitals, CHCs, PHCs, Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs), or Sub-Centres, where prior registration has been done in the eVIN portal using EPIC details, certificates may be issued without requiring additional documentation. For home births or deaths, applicants may submit government-issued ID documents, available birth or death records, or a certificate from the concerned Nokma certifying the place and date of birth or death in cases where other government documents are not available.

Dr. (Mrs.) Angelice A·gitok Sangma, Grade-I Senior Medical and Health Officer and District Nodal Officer in-charge of Registration of Births and Deaths, West Garo Hills, urged citizens to register every birth and death within 21 days of occurrence.

"Everyone should come forward and register births and deaths within 21 days of occurrence in order to avoid unnecessary payment of fees and court procedures as prescribed under the Rules," she said, while emphasizing the need for greater public awareness on the subject.

Earlier, a meeting of the District Level Inter-Departmental Coordination Committee on Registration of Births and Deaths was held on Tuesday in the office chamber of the Deputy Commissioner, West Garo Hills.

The meeting was chaired by Deputy Commissioner Shri Vibhor Aggarwal, who is also the Chairman of the District Level Committee, and deliberated on various issues relating to the registration of births and deaths in the district in the presence of District Medical & Health Officer, West Garo Hills and other members of the Committee including the District Nodal Officer, Registration of Births and Deaths.
