A to Z

Registering of Deaths is carried out by Staffordshire County Council. Please see contact number below.

Registering a death must, by law, be carried out within five days of its occurrence unless a Registrar says that this period may be extended. You can do this at the Register Office in the district where the death occurred. Alternatively, you can go to any Register Office in England and Wales and make a declaration of the particulars required for registration purposes. If you opt to make a declaration, the Registrar will send the details to the appropriate Register Office. Any certificates you require will be sent to you by post, therefore delays in organising a funeral may occur.
