A 86-year-old woman claims that Melilla's Civil Registry mistakenly certified her death instead of that of her son

A 86-year-old woman has reported that the Melilla Civil Registry erroneously issued a death certificate to her name when in fact the deceased was her son. The mistake occurred on March 26, 2025, when she went to perform the process of death of her firstborn, but the document issued declared her dead.According to another of her children, Juan José Florensa, this administrative failure generated a chain of problems, such as the automatic discharge…

The octogenarian was automatically discharged from various public bodies, which caused her to stop receiving her pension and her identity card to be invalidated.

A woman has filed a complaint about a mistake by Melilla's Civil Registry, which officially certified her death when she went to process the death of her deceased son, which has caused an "administrative ordeal" for which she does not rule out filing a lawsuit.
