Who Issues It?
Death certificates in Zimbabwe are issued by the Registrar General’s Office under the Civil Registry Department. This authority records deaths and maintains official extracts of civil status records.
The issuing authority determines eligibility requirements, required documentation, official formats, fees, and processing timelines.

This may include cases where the original document has been lost, where a replacement copy is required for legal proceedings, or where a newly issued registry extract is needed for submission to foreign institutions.
Administrative coordination may involve registry searches, verification of identifying details, submission of required information, and secure delivery of the certified document.
