A death must be registered within five days of the date the MCCD is accepted by our office (including weekends and bank holidays). 

Where possible, please choose the first available appointment at your chosen register office. Bear in mind that other Warwickshire offices may have an earlier appointment which may be more convenient.

It is preferable to register a death in the area where the person died. If this is within Warwickshire you can have an appointment at any of our registration offices.

If you use a registration office outside Warwickshire, the information we need to register will be sent to us by the attesting office. After a few days you will then be able to apply for copies of the death certificate online.

Who can register a death?

You can register the death if you are:

  • a relative
  • a partner
  • someone present at the death
  • the person making arrangements with the funeral directors
