A death should normally be registered within 5 days unless the Coroner is investigating the circumstances surrounding the death.
You can book an appointment to register the death using our form below. Please wait until you have been told that the Medical Certificate has been sent electronically by the surgery or hospital to the Register Office.
You will be able to pay for your death certificates at the same time.
To register the death, please come to the Register Office at the time of your appointment.
