Copy death certificate
Copy death certificate
To issue a copy death certificate, we will need the deceased's:
- Full name
- Date of death
- Age at death or date of birth
- Place of death (for example, name of nursing home or hospital)
- Home address, if different from place of death
- Occupation
The cost for each non-urgent certificate is £11.00. The national target for issuing non-urgent certificates is 15 working days from the date of request.
The Registration Service recommends that applicants opt for Royal Mail’s ‘Signed For’ postage at a cost of £1.85 per order. Where customers opt for standard postage there is no additional charge.
The service is not currently able to offer an urgent 24-hour certificate service.
Please note due to Covid-19 certificate orders may not be completed within the published timescales. We remain committed to processing orders as fast as we can, however please only contact the service if you have not received your certificates 20 working days after placing your order.
