Information you'll need
You'll need to tell us about the person who has died, including:
- date and place of death
- full name (including maiden name and any other names)
- date and town of birth
- occupation and address (even if they had retired)
- the full name and occupation of their spouse (if they were married or widowed)
- the date of birth of their spouse (if they were still married)
You'll also need to give us your name and address.
We'll add the medical cause of death details to the entry. We don't need evidence of birth and marriage.
Please make sure your information is correct. Making changes afterwards can be complicated.
Documents you'll need
You'll need to show us:
- notification from the coroner (this is usually sent directly to the register office)
- the NHS medical card for the person who has died (if possible)
- photographic identification for you
- a document showing your address
