Let Alenity take the admin burden? See how it works

Register a death in the UK

See the data

Find the register office for the place where the death happened. You'll register with them, not Alenity.

England and Wales: 5 days after medical examiner notification. Scotland: 8 days. Northern Ireland: 5 days. No countdown while a coroner or procurator fiscal has the case.

Where did the death happen?

Find the register office for the area where the death happened. If you cannot attend there, ask a local register office about making a declaration; documents may take longer.
