Registration

Covid-19

With effect from 25th March 2022, the registration of all deaths must be done in person at the Registrar’s office once again. We would urge you to give the Registrar permission to send us the paperwork which we need for the funeral to take place (Green Certificate) via e-mail, to ensure there are no delays.

If possible the next of kin should attend at the registrar’s office. Failing this, another close relative or the executor is usually acceptable. A death is registered at the sub-district in which the death occurs. The local Register offices and hours are listed below. If you are in any doubt as to which Registrar to visit, please do not hesitate to telephone our office.

THE REGISTRAR WILL REQUIRE:

  • Doctor’s or Coroner’s certificate of death, which will be e-mailed direct to the Registrar.
  • Deceased medical card – if available.
  • Details of any pension paid by the Paymaster General i.e. Dockyard or Service.

AND THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

  • Deceased’s full name.
  • Date and place of birth.
  • Usual residence.
  • Last full-time occupation.
  • Any surviving partner’s date of birth.

AND, IF THE DECEASED WAS A LADY:

  • Her maiden name.
  • Full name of her husband/father.
  • Her occupation.

THE REGISTRAR WILL ISSUE:

  • Green certificate for Funeral Director.
  • White certificate for D.W.P.
  • And for a small charge will issue further certified copies of the death certificate for solicitors, banks, insurances, building societies, premium bonds etc.

TELL US ONCE

The registrar will give you details of the Tell Us Once service which reports the death to most government organisations in one go.
