Advice & Support
How to register a death
In the UK, a death must be registered within 5 days (8 days in Scotland) and it must be in the district within which the death occurred.
We can advise you of the whereabouts of the relevant Registry Office in Gloucestershire and can assist with transport and the times the Registrar is in attendance.
Who can register a death?
- Any relative of the deceased
- Any person present at death
- The occupier of the house where the death occurs
- The person arranging the funeral
What do you need to register a death?
The procedure for registering a death is a simple interview with the Registrar who will require the following information:
- Date and place of birth and death
- The full name of the deceased
- Home address of the deceased
- The marital status of the deceased
- The occupation (if any) of the deceased
- If the deceased is female, her maiden name and her husband’s full name and occupation.
