Recommended Practice based on International Guidelines
To protect privacy and confidentiality of the deceased, some countries provide for a long-form death certificate which contains cause of death information and a short-form death certificate which does not contain cause of death information. The long-form death certificate is only accessible to family and those with a legitimate interest in learning cause of death, such as government officials. Short-form certificates are accessible by anyone and used as a record of death for administrative purposes.

Legal Analysis
The death certificate issued by the civil registrar does not contain cause of death information. It cannot, as the registrar never receives cause of death information.
