Death Certificate

The Medical Death Certificate is a legal document signed by a medical professional when a death occurs. This document is necessary to initiate burial procedures with funeral companies, departmental cemeteries, and for registering the event in the Civil Registry. The electronic issuance of the Electronic Death Certificate (CDe) allows the online transmission of data to public and private institutions involved in the process, avoiding delays during a very sensitive time for the deceased's family.

It also allows for the separation of personal identification data from medical data, thereby ensuring the confidentiality of the latter. The system has national coverage and is led by the Ministry of Public Health of Uruguay.

Live Birth Certificate

This system enables the management of the electronic issuance process for the live birth certificate. The system is used by doctors across the country, who, by electronically signing the certificate, generate a record in a centralized database at the Ministry of Public Health and submit a request to the Civil Identification Directorate to reserve the newborn’s identity document number.

In this way, an identification is assigned to the newborn, and vital statistics data can be obtained in real time.

This project was selected as a pilot project for the Electronic Government Platform, as it includes a web services layer that is consumed by various agencies that need to be informed of the existence of a new person in the country: Civil Registry Office, Social Security Bank, among others.
