This course describes the death registration process in Texas and provides instructions for completing and filing death certificates along with related permits using the Texas Electronic Vital Events Registrar (TxEVER).
A death certificate is a permanent legal record of an individual's death and is extremely important to the family of the deceased person. The information recorded on the death certificate is used to apply for insurance benefits, to settle pension claims, and to transfer title of real and personal property. Information recorded on a death certificate provides evidence of the fact of death and can be produced as evidence in a court of law. The course explains the process of filing a death certificate and the information that must be included, and provides an in-depth look at how the TxEVER system operates.
Upon completion, students will be able to:
