7 AAC 05.840 - Delayed death certificate
When a death, fetal death, or marriage occurring in Alaska has not been registered, a certificate thereof may be filed with the bureau; and if found acceptable by the State Registrar shall be registered. The State Registrar shall determine what documents or other evidence shall be necessary to substantiate the facts of such death, fetal death, or marriage, which requirements shall follow any national standards, and in general be similar to those herein established for delayed birth registration. He shall notify the proper authorities in any case where such a death might require investigation. In any case where such event occurred one or more years prior to such registration, the certificate thereof shall be marked "Delayed." This procedure shall not apply in a case of presumption of death where no body has been established.
