The systems build an electronic chain of certification by computer from funeral director to doctor to government certifier, safeguarded by encrypted codes or fingerprint identifications. The states have chosen different software providers and programs to accomplish the same goal of faster and more efficient certification. The result is that death certificates can be obtained in 1 or 2 days, instead of two or more weeks. Better yet, it eliminates paper. The greatest public benefit lies with settling life insurance claims much more quickly, but genealogists should also realize faster service as well.
