Mysuru City Corporation has signed an agreement with the India Post Mysuru Division to deliver birth and death certificates to applicants by post, allowing residents to avoid a second visit to civic offices to collect the documents. The service will be available through the corporation’s main office and all nine zonal offices.
The agreement was signed at an event held at the corporation’s Chamarajendra Hall by commissioner M.K. Savita and G. Harish, senior superintendent of the Mysuru Postal Division. Under the arrangement, certificates issued by the corporation will be sent to the full address provided by applicants.
Residents who want to use postal delivery must submit their consent along with the application for a birth or death certificate. The delivery facility will be available for addresses anywhere in India through the postal department’s network, according to information provided at the event.
The certificates will be delivered under a cash-on-delivery arrangement. Applicants must pay a postal delivery charge of ₹100 to India Post staff when receiving the certificate. The charge is separate from the application and certificate process described by the corporation and the postal department.
The civic body said the arrangement is intended to reduce the need for applicants to return to corporation offices after submitting their applications. Officials said the service would help residents save time, travel costs and effort involved in collecting certificates in person.
The facility will cover applications handled at the corporation’s main office and its nine zonal offices. The agreement therefore links the corporation’s certificate-issuing process with India Post’s delivery network rather than requiring applicants to make a separate collection trip after their documents are ready.
Officials also briefed representatives of relevant government and private hospitals about the agreement and its operating procedure. Government hospitals do not come under the administrative control of the corporation, and information about the arrangement was shared with their officials as part of the implementation process.
Birth and death certificates are routinely required for identity, family, legal, welfare and administrative procedures. The delivery arrangement changes the collection stage of the process, while the source report does not specify any change to the application requirements, processing time or certificate issuance procedure.
The event was attended by India Post officials, corporation staff, and representatives of government and private hospitals. Those present included ASAP Manikumar of the postal department, market officer Sureshkumar, private hospitals’ president Dr Chandrashekhar, corporation executive engineer Mrutyunjaya K.S., assistant statistical officer Shankar, and hospital representatives.
