Other requests for verification require a signed application on forms provided or approved by the Registrar, and a copy of the front and back of signed photo identification or such other information as the Registrar requests. Verifications may also be conducted via Department automated systems approved by the Registrar. (3-17-22) 02. Administrative Fact of Death Verifications.
