Death registration services
Register a death in Worcestershire or order a copy death certificate.
What you need to do
All deaths must be registered within five days of the date of death
To register a death, you must be a qualified informant (please see the list of qualified informants below)
- relative of deceased
- someone present at the death
- the occupier, e.g. the matron or owner of a nursing home or the Hospital Administrator of the premises where the death occurred
- the person arranging the funeral (this is the person signing the paperwork for the funeral director, not the funeral director themselves)
The only exception to this is where a referral has been made to the Coroner. A Coroner's Officer will advise you when you are able to make an appointment.
