When do I register the death?

Every death in England and Wales must be registered in the district where it happened within five days of the paperwork being sent to the Register Office. The registrar will then record the information given by you.

Where do I register their death?

If the person died in the Bradford and Keighley Registration District you can register the death at City Hall, Bradford or Keighley Town Hall. If the person died in Halifax, you can register the death at Halifax Register Office.

What happens when my loved one dies?

When someone dies the doctor who was treating them must refer to the death to The Medical Examiner who will scrutinize the cause of death and speak to the next of kin. Once this has happened they will send a Medical Certificate to the Register Office. Sometimes if the death was sudden or the doctor treating the person who died is unavailable, the death will have to be reported to the Coroner first, which may lead to a delay in registering the death.
