Report Death Abroad

When an American dies abroad, a consular officer notifies the American's family and informs them about their options and costs for disposition of remains. If the next-of-kin or his/her representative is not in Malawi, we will make the arrangements upon receipt of instructions and funds. We also prepare an official report of the death that can be used to settle the estate.  For further questions, contact the Consular Section at +265 (1) 773-166
