This page gives you the information that must be given to the registrar for the registration

• date and place of death
• name and surname of the deceased
• maiden surname, if the deceased was a woman who had married
• date and place of birth
• occupation
• name and occupation of husband, where the deceased was a married woman or widow
• usual address
• whether the deceased was in receipt of a pension or allowance from public funds
• if the deceased was married, the date of birth of the surviving widow or widower

The deceased's medical card, if available, should also be given to the registrar.

It is most important that the information recorded in the death register is correct. If any mistake is made, for example in the spelling of a name or surname or in the description of the occupation, it will give the relative or other person who registered the death some trouble to have it put right. The person registering the death should check the information in the register very carefully before the entry is signed.

If English is not the first language of the relative or other person registering the death and help is needed, it would be helpful for someone else to accompany him or her to the registrar's office and act as interpreter. However, the relative or other person must register the death personally as a helper cannot register instead of them
