Documents You Need To Register A Death

When registering a death, the Registrar will require specific documents, including the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death (MCCD or Form 11), the deceased’s birth certificate, and their marriage or civil partnership certificate (if applicable). If available, also bring their medical card and Driver’s Blue Disability Badge. However, if you do not have all the documents, still proceed with the registration.

The Importance Of Timely Registration

It’s essential to register the death as soon as possible, as funeral arrangements can only be confirmed once the registration process is complete. Our experienced team at James Sherry Ltd is on hand to support you through every step, ensuring all the necessary documentation is submitted promptly. We understand the sensitivity of this time and are committed to making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Information You’ll Be Asked to Provide

During your appointment with the Registrar, you will need to provide several details about the deceased, including their:

​

  • Full Name

  • Date And Place Of Birth

  • Parent’s Names (Including Mother’s Maiden Name)

  • Full Name Of Their Spouse Or Partner (If Applicable)

  • Last Occupation
     

The registration office also operates a ‘Tell Us Once’ system, notifying the DWP, DVLA, and other relevant departments on your behalf. After registering, a Form 14 will be issued to your funeral director to proceed with the funeral plans. Copies of the death certificate for legal or administrative purposes can be obtained at this time.
