After registering
What you will be given
The registrar will ask you to read and check all the information on the register page before signing.
It is essential that all the information is correct, as this is a legal document. This includes, names, spelling, and dates.
If there are any errors in the registration, you will be required to apply for a formal correction, which will incur a charge.
The registrar will:
- Issue the certificate for burial or cremation (known as the Green Form), and with your permission, email it directly to the Funeral Director unless the coroner has issued an Order for burial or a Certificate for cremation already.
- Register you for the Tell Us Once service and give you a reference number, enabling you to inform multiple local and central government departments of the death in one contact.
There is no charge for the death registration or Tell Us Once registration.
