The following list contains the information that must be given to the registrar for the registration:
- Date and place of death
- Name and surname of the deceased
- Maiden surname, if the deceased was a woman who had married
- Date and place of birth
- Occupation
- Name and occupation of husband, where the deceased was a married woman or widow
- Usual address
- Whether the deceased was in receipt of a pension or allowance from public funds
- If the deceased was married, the date of birth of the surviving widow or widower
The deceased’s medical card, birth certificate and marriage certificate (if available), should also be taken to the registrar.
It is extremely important that the information recorded in the death register is accurate. Mistakes are sometimes difficult to correct and it is the registering person’s responsibility to get them corrected.
The person registering the death should check the information in the register very carefully before the entry is signed.
