If the death occurred in East Sussex (excluding Brighton & Hove), Book online to register at one of our Register Offices.

If the death occurred outside of East Sussex, it should be registered with the local registration service to where it happened.

If the death occurred overseas, the process of registration is different. For advice visit Register a death (gov.uk).
