Service Description: All deaths must be registered with a Registrar of Births and Deaths in the area where the death occurred. They should be registered within 5 days unless a coroner is investigating the circumstances of the death. Tell Us Once is a new service provided by the Registry Office that enables us to help with your recent bereavement. With your permission we will inform the relevant Government Departments and some Isle of Wight Council Services of the bereavement and forward any relevant documentation to them on your behalf. This will mean that you will not have to inform these departments separately.
Also known as:- Copy Certificates - Deaths, Death Certificates, Deaths, Deaths - Historical Searches, Stillbirth - Registering
Answer: No, certificates can be ordered over the telephone, by post, online or in some cases by using downloadable forms on the Isle of Wight Family History website (www.isle-of-wight-fhs.co.uk/) The public can also attend at the Register Office at Seaclose and complete the relevant forms. A chargeable priority service is available, otherwise allow up to 5 working days. You will also need to check, if requiring a copy marriage certificate from a Church wedding, whether the register is at the Register Office or still at the Church.
