Death Registration Appointment
By law you must register a death within five calendar days unless the Coroner is investigating.
The death cannot be registered until the doctor or hospital provides a Medical Certificate of Cause of Death or, if the Coroner is involved, the relevant paperwork has been provided to us.
The closest relative MUST register the death (unfortunately statute does not regard an unmarried partner as a relative).
Documents for the relative registering the death, as well as the deceased, must be provided to show names and addresses to prevent any errors. At the end of this booking you will see a Confirmation page which holds a lot of information about what documentation to bring to your appointment. Please take the time to read through this information, as it will help you at your appointment.
Deaths occurring within the Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council district will be registered with us. If you are unsure, please contact us on (01642) 444440.

Once your appointment has been made you will be given a reference number; please keep this safe as it will be required if you need to contact us to amend or cancel your appointment.
