Register a death
by declaration
If the death took place a long way from
where the person registering lives and
they are not able to attend the appropriate
register office, they can ask their local
register office to do a ‘declaration’. This
means the local register office take the
information and forward it to the register
office in the district where the death
took place. The receiving register office
will then register the death there and
then contact you to make arrangements for
the purchase and dispatch of the certi昀椀cates.
Please be aware that registration by
declaration may result in a delay in the
receipt of the document needed for the
burial/cremation as well as death
certificates, so please bear this in mind
when making any arrangements.
