Birth & death registration to go fully digital in Nagaland

DIMAPUR — The Economics and Statistics department has informed that all registrations of births and deaths in the state will be carried out through the online system with effect from June 1, 2026, in view of the transition to 100% registration of births and deaths in the state.

According to a DIPR report, all birth and death certificates issued manually prior to June 1, 2026, will remain valid for all official purposes. It stated that no citizen would be required to obtain fresh certificates solely on account of digitisation.
