Book an appointment

All deaths must be registered in person at a register office, unless subject to Coroner's Inquest.

Before booking your appointment to register a death, you must:

• Confirm the hospital or medical practice has sent the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death (MCCD) to the Registrar. 
• Read all of these guide pages, to be sure you have everything needed to register.
