Objective: This study aimed to assess the attributes of data quality, representativity, and timeliness of the maternal mortality surveillance system in Ceará from 2014 to 2023. Methods: The research followed an evaluation methodology focusing on attributes such as data quality, representativity, and timeliness, using tools like Epi Info™ 7.2, Office 365, and QGis for data analysis, processing, and presentation. Results: The system demonstrated high data completeness (99.2%) but only moderate consistency (79.5%), with discrepancies between death certificates and investigations. Representativity was excellent, accurately reflecting the profile of deceased women. However, notification (69.31%) and investigation (45.25%) timeliness were unsatisfactory. Conclusion: Despite progress, improvements in system consistency and efficiency are essential to strengthen surveillance and support effective policies to reduce maternal mortality.
