The Medical Examiners office will send the Medical Cause of Death Certificate (MCCD) electronically to our Registration offices.
Once we have accepted the MCCD, a link to book an appointment will be sent to the next of kin using the contact details provided by the Medical Examiners office.
If you haven't received a link 48 hours after the Medical Examiners office have advised the MCCD has been sent then please call us on 0300 555 0255.
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
