Registering a Death

The death must be registered within 5 days of the medical examiner signing the medical certificate of death, unless the coroner is investigating the circumstances relating to the death. It is also possible to make a declaration to register a death before any registrar in England and Wales. The registrar will record the particulars on a form of declaration and this will be sent to the registrar for the district where the death occurred. Registering a death in this way may unfortunately cause a delay in making the funeral arrangements as the necessary documents will be sent in the post rather than being issued to the person attending the Register Office. The Liverpool Register Office is open Monday to Friday 9.00 am to 4.45 pm and is located at:

The Liverpool Register Office

St George’s Hall St George’s Place (Heritage Centre Entrance)

William Brown Street

Liverpool L1 1JJ

Telephone: 0151 233 3004
