Certificates issued by the Registrar

The Registrar will issue you with 3 certificates that will enable you to manage the affairs of the deceased.

1. A certificate of burial or cremation, often referred to as the green form. This should be given to your funeral director as soon as it is issued.
2. A social security certificate which needs to be handed into the deceased’s local social security office
3. Certified copies of the entry of death. These are important as they will enable you to manage the deceased’s affairs with their bank, insurers and solicitors. There is a charge for these certified certificates but you may want to obtain several copies to help you with managing the estate.

There will be a charge for the death certificate when you register the death and you will be given payment options.
