Your FAQ

Question: I live on the Island but need to register the death of someone who has died on the mainland. Do I need to go to the mainland to do this or can I register it here on the Island?

Answer: You can register the death here by doing a death by declaration. The relevant register office will fax the medical certificate to the Island registrars, and you will need to pay the £4:00 for each certificate required by cheque to the receiving district. These certificates and the green form (for the funeral director) will be sent to you by post once the death has been registered by the mainland office.
