Did the death occur within Worcestershire?
Deaths can only be registered in the registration district in which they have occurred. However, it is possible to provide the information at any register office in England or Wales. This is called a registration by declaration. If you are using the declaration service you will need to contact the registration service in the district in which the death occurred and ask them to email the medical certificate of cause of death and/or coroners paperwork to registeroffice@worcestershire.gov.uk. We will be unable to provide this service without these documents. Once you have attended the declaration appointment with us, the declaration paperwork will be sent via email to the register office in the district in which the death occurred, for them to register the death in their registers.You will not receive any paperwork or death certificates at the declaration appointment with us. To order the death certificate(s) you will need to get in touch with the registration office in the district where the death occurred a few days after your appointment with us and order direct with them. The green form for burial or cremation can only be issued by the registration service registering the death and this will be issued to your funeral directors once the death has been registered.We can only provide this service if the death occurred in England or Wales. If the death occurred anywhere else, then you will need to register the death where it occurred.Taking the above information into account, do you still wish to continue?

Have you been told by the Medical Examiner that the Medical Cause of Death certificate has been scanned to the register office?
Is the Coroner investigating the circumstances of the death?
Please note: If the coroner has been involved, it is essential that the registration service receives the necessary paperwork from the coroner's office in order for us to register the death. Please make sure that the coroner's officer has informed you that this paperwork is now ready and that you are able to book this appointment. If not please don't continue to book until the coroner's officer has been in touch.
Unless the Medical Examiner's office or the Coroner's office have informed you that the paperwork required for registration has been sent to our office we unfortunately cannot book an appointment at this time. They will contact you and inform you when the paperwork has been sent and that an appointment can be made. Please note that it is no longer a requirement to register a death within 5 days..
Are you related to the deceased?
It is only possible to register a death if you are related to the deceased or if you meet one of the other criteria listed. For example, if you are an executor of the will or have power of attorney over the deceased, this unfortunately does not qualify you to register the death; only being related or meeting one of the criteria on this list will allow you to register the death. Thank you for completing the details. However, this booking cannot currently go ahead due to the responses provided.

Please be aware you will need to supply your own interpreter, this can be a family member or a friend, and please make sure they are with you at the time the of your appointment when the registrar calls.
