Do you need help to register a death and notify others?

When a person passes away, their death must be registered. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland this needs to be done within 5 days. In Scotland you have 8 days.

You can find your nearest register office online at www.gov.uk/register-a-death. Here you can find information about local restrictions and how to make an appointment.
