Register General E. M. Gunasekera said once the compiling of all Data on births, deaths and marriages at the district level was completed by July, the Police, Immigration or Registration of Persons authorities could check, at the flick of their fingers, on the web, whether a document produced was authentic or not.
Once the 320 Divisional Secretariats were connected to the Register General’s Department Web network the general public could obtain copies of birth, death or marriage certificates from any DS office in the country within a short time.
When questioned whether there were a large number of applications from the nearest kith and kin requesting death certificates for persons reported to have died or gone missing during the final stages of the conflict, the Register General said that though earlier there was a hue and cry among the people in the North that the government was not issuing death certificates, following the issue of the Government Gazette notification Number 19 of 2010, the people had not shown much enthusiasm and the department had received only around 1,000 applications from family members so far.
