A death certificate is an official record that states the date of death and whether the deceased was married or in a registered partnership. In most cases, the funeral service provider will arrange a death certificate for you. Depending on your relationship with the deceased, you can also report the death yourself, or authorise someone else to do it on your behalf. For further details, check the website of the local authority where the deceased died.
If you have a certificate of inheritance or a certificate of executorship, we will not need a death certificate.
