Residents can now get birth and death certificates issued by the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) delivered to their doorstep, eliminating the need for a second visit to its offices to collect the documents.

The MCC and the Mysuru Postal Division signed an agreement on October 29 to introduce the facility, under which certificates will be delivered to the address specified by applicants for a fee of ₹100.

MCC Commissioner M.K. Savita and Senior Superintendent of Post Offices, Mysuru division, G. Harish, signed the agreement at the MCC office on October 29.

The service will be available at the MCC headquarters and all nine zonal offices. Applicants seeking doorstep delivery must submit a consent form along with the postal address while applying for a birth or death certificate.

The certificates will be dispatched through the India Post network to addresses anywhere in the country. The ₹100 delivery charge will be collected from recipients under the cash-on-delivery mode when the documents are handed over.

The initiative is expected to save applicants time, travel expenses, and the inconvenience of visiting MCC offices again to collect the certificates.

Officials from government hospitals, which are not under the MCC’s administrative jurisdiction, were briefed about the agreement. The MCC expects the hospitals concerned to explore similar arrangements with the Postal Department in the coming days.

Representatives of government-run and private hospitals, and officials of the MCC and the Postal Department attended the programme.
