At present all death registration appointments will be conducted by telephone. When the Doctor's surgery has informed you they have completed and scanned the Medical Cause of Death Certificate to the registration service you will need to book an appointment or call 0300 555 0255. or If the death occurred in George Eliot (Nuneaton), Warwick or St Cross (Rugby) Hospital, the hospital bereavement teams can forward your contact details to Registration Services and the registrars will contact you directly. In these circumstances, an appointment is not needed
You must register a death within five days of the event (including weekends and Bank Holidays). Read through this information and use the link on the last page to book an appointment.
Where possible, please choose the first available appointment at your chosen register office. Bear in mind that other 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 book an appointment at any of our registration offices and we will give you the documents you will need on the day.
If you use a registration office outside Warwickshire, the documents will be sent to the office in the area where the person died before they are issued to you. This means you will usually wait a few days for them.
Who can register a death?
You can register the death if you are:
- a relative
- someone present at the death
