MCC to take up four-day drive from October 14 to issue pending birth and death certificates

The Mangaluru City Corporation will conduct a drive from October 14 to October 17 to issue birth and death certificates, including those related to correction in certificates, that have been pending in the corporation due to SIR and other reasons.

In a press release, the MCC Deputy Commissioner (Administration) asked applicants to access the website http://slotbooking.karnatakasmartcity.in and book a time slot between 10.30 a.m. and 6 p.m. for the chosen day by providing the name, application reference number, mobile phone number and email ID.

Applicants have to bring documents related to the application to Mangala auditorium on the second floor. Officials will process the application and isssue the certificate within 30 minutes of the allotted time slot.

Talking to The Hindu, MCC Commissioner Rahul Rathnam Pandey said presently 400 applications are pending.

Birth and death records belonging to post 2010 have been digitised and are easily accessible, while the records of those prior to 2010 are in manual form and officials have been instructed to keep them ready before the commencement of the drive, he said.

All the pending applications will be processed during the drive. “If an applicant is unable to take part in the drive, then they can visit the MCC at a later date and collect the certificate,” Mr. Pandey said.
