Where there is evidence to show that a national of another State had been in Sri Lanka and temporarily resident within an area declared as a National Disaster Area in terms of section 9, and that it is apparent that such person has died as a result of the natural disaster or calamity in question, then any person having knowledge of these facts may apply for the issue to him of a Certificate of Death in respect of such person. Every such application shall be authenticated by the representative of the country of which such person was a citizen, present in Sri Lanka, and such application shall be forwarded directly to the Registrar-General who shall forthwith proceed to register such death and issue in respect of such person a Certificate of Death.
