Tell Us Once service

When someone has died, you must register the death with the local registrar. They will generate a Tell Us Once reference number.

You can then use the Tell Us Once service to let some council services and government departments know about the death.

Visit GOV.UK, enter your reference number and follow the instructions to use the online Tell Us Once service.

The registrar will tell you how to report the death. To learn more about Tell Us Once, you can visit YouTube to watch a video on reporting a death using the Tell Us Once service.
