Registering a death

After someone dies,  their doctor (GP or hospital) will normally be able to give you advice on how to register their death.

You usually need to formally register a death within five days and you will need to contact with the registrar's service to make an appointment. The registrar you need to contact will depend on the area where the person passed away.

For example, if someone lived in Warrington but passed away in a hospital in Manchester, you would need to contact the Manchester Registrar.

The links to several local registrars are below.
