How to register death

We aim to process an application for registration of a death within three working days.

A Singapore death certificate is sufficient for most purposes.Consular death registration can provide you with a British-style death certificate. A permanent and accessible record of the death registration is also maintained at the General Register Office (GRO) in Southport and, where appropriate, at the GROs in Edinburgh and Belfast.

The following documentation should be provided:
1) Complete the Death Registration Application Form [PDF, 26KB, opens in new window]
    You may also obtain and complete one once you are at the Consular Section.
2) the local death certificate.
3) the British passport.

You can come in between 08:30-12:30, Mondays to Fridays to lodge an application to register a death.

There is a charge for this service.  Please refer to our Consular fees page for more information.

There is more information on how we can help if someone dies.
