The Jammu and Kashmir administration has released a notification outlining fresh procedures for registering births and deaths that were not recorded within the prescribed time limit.
The state government of Jammu and Kashmir has issued an official notification introducing revised guidelines for the registration of births and deaths that were not recorded within the standard time frame. The new rules aim to simplify the process for families who missed the initial deadline and to reduce the backlog in civil records.
Under the notification, applicants can now approach the local civil registration office with supporting documents to complete delayed registrations. The government has also instructed officials to provide a clear timeline for verification and issuance of certificates, ensuring that the procedure remains transparent.
The move is part of the administration's broader effort to strengthen civil documentation and improve service delivery to citizens across the union territory. Officials have been asked to disseminate the guidelines to all district registration authorities for uniform implementation.
Stakeholders, including health workers and local administrators, have welcomed the change, noting that it will help families obtain essential legal documents without undue delay.
The notification comes as Jammu and Kashmir continues to modernise its public services, aligning with national objectives for digital governance and citizen-centric administration.
