Registering a death

Where and when to register a death

A copy of the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death will be forwarded to our office.

Once the next of kin has been advised by the doctor that the medical cause of death has been forwarded to the Register Office an appointment can be made to register the death.

A death must be registered within five days. However, if the coroner is involved this period may be extended.
