The Medical Examiners office will send the Medical Cause of Death Certificate (MCCD) electronically to our Registration offices.
We will call you to book an appointment after we have received the MCCD.
If you haven't heard from us after 48 hours please call us on 0300 555 0255.
You must register a death within five days of the date the MCCD is sent to 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 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.
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
- someone present at the death
- the person making arrangements with the funeral directors
