Pre-authorized individuals can register deaths with the Office of Vital Records at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene using the Electronic Vital Events Registration System (EVERS).

This web-based system is paperless, ensures data confidentiality and security and is designed to improve data quality and be user friendly. The system incorporates HIPAA compliant security features such as access control, encryption, secure data transmission, and non-repudiation mechanisms through the use of a fingerprint recognition device. Learn more about EVERS.
