What is the Niyauvi Kamuge Liyun?

The Niyauvi Kamuge Liyun, or Death Confirmation Document, is an official certificate issued by the Town Office. This document provides essential details about the deceased, including their name and date of death, and serves as the official confirmation needed to initiate any inheritance case. Recognized as a foundational legal document, the Niyauvi Kamuge Liyun is indispensable in confirming death, allowing inheritance procedures to proceed in court.

How to Obtain a Death Confirmation Document

To acquire the Niyauvi Kamuge Liyun, applicants must submit the following documents to the Town Office:

1. Death Certificate Issued by the Hospital: This certificate confirms the death and provides details of the date and time.

2. Copy of the Applicant’s Dhivehi Citizenship Card: This identification ensures the applicant’s identity is verified.

3. Application Form for Death Certificate: This form, available at the Town Office, must be filled out completely and accurately.

Once these documents are submitted, the Town Office will process and issue the Death Confirmation Document. Ensuring that all submitted documents are complete is essential to avoid delays in processing.
