NIRA is the government body which takes on the death registration and death Certificate issuing in Uganda. Known as the Uganda National Identification Registration Authority, it is the same body which is responsible for the National ID registration and issuance to qualifying citizens of Uganda, and which means that in order to get either a death or birth certificate or a national ID, you should provide them with all the required details.

Before, this was the work of the Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB) until when NIRA took over the above ever since the country introduced the National ID’s. If you are in need of a death certificate, it is mandatory that you obtain a short death certificate which you should present to NIRA offices together with the fully filled Form 12 you can obtain from their offices, and or download from online just like you can see the preview in this post.

This downloaded NIRA form 12 Regulation 19(4),20(1) has many options to fill which include but not limited to the following below..
