Death certificates are medico-legal documents that play an important role as the main source of mortality data used in planning, monitoring, and evaluating public health policies. The quality of death certificate completion is low, such as incomplete data, errors in determining the underlying cause of death, and the use of nonspecific terms. This study uses a literature review method with article searches conducted on several scientific databases, namely PubMed, ScienceDirect, and ResearchRabbit, with a publication range of 2019–2025. The results of the study show that human resources, particularly the competence of doctors, continuing education, and clinical experience, are the main determinants of the quality of death certificate completion. In terms of facilities and infrastructure, the availability of health facilities, access to medical records, and support for the recording system are also important. Meanwhile, the application of standardised methods, the use of WHO/ICD guidelines, periodic audits, and monitoring systems have proven effective in reducing errors in death certificate completion. Improving the quality of death certificates requires a comprehensive and sustainable approach that integrates human resource strengthening, infrastructure improvements, and the application of standardised recording methods to produce accurate mortality data.
