Your FAQ

Question: I do not live on the Island but need to register the death of someone who has died on the Isle of Wight. Do I need to come to the Island to do this?

Answer: No, not if this would be inconvenient for you. You can make a 'declaration' at any office in England or Wales who will then post the details to us. Please be aware that no certificates or 'green form' (certificate for burial or cremation, required by the funeral director) can be issued by a mainland Register Office, for a death that occurs on the Island. These will be issued once the registration is completed on the Island. Please contact the Register Office for further information.
