Registration
A death should be registered in the district in which it has occurred and wherever possible it should be done by a near relative or an executor. The Registrar will require the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death forwarded by the treating doctor, either the GP or hospital doctor. The Registrar will issue a Green Certificate, which is either forwarded directly to your chosen funeral director or an original copy will be handed to you there and then. The Registrar will also issue a White Certificate of Registration which may be required if claiming any Social Security benefits when they apply.
You may also request Certified Copies of the Entry of Death which will be needed for legal purposes. Such copies will be required for life assurance, probate, banks, savings certificates, Premium Bonds, company shares and other financial interests, although they may not all need to keep a copy. Registration can either be completed online or on the telephone. It may be necessary to attend the Registrar's office in person. Details of the Registrars' addresses and hours for the various local districts are available from our offices.
