What do I need to take to the register office?

Whoever registers the death should take to the register office:

• the medical certificate from the doctor;
• the persons full name at date of death;
• any names previously used, eg, maiden name;
• the person’s date and place of birth;
• their occupation;
• their last address;
• name, date of birth and occupation of the person’s spouse (including a same-sex spouse for marriages on or after 13 March 2014) or civil partner (whether living or dead); and
• information about any state benefits the person was receiving.
