Death Registration Appointment
A death must be registered within 5 days of receipt of paperwork from the Medical Examiner team unless the Coroner is investigating.
An appointment cannot be made until the doctor or hospital provides a Medical Certificate of Cause of Death or, if the Coroner is involved, the relevant paperwork has been provided to us. The paperwork will be received at the Register Office by email following scrutiny by the Medical Examiner.
The Medical Certificate of cause of death will be scrutinised by the Medical examiner who will make contact with you. Please wait for the Medical Examiner to contact you before making an appointment to register.
A relative will register the death
If you have any difficulty understanding or speaking English you MUST bring an interpreter with you
Documents for the relative registering the death, as well as the deceased, are helpful if provided to show names and addresses and prevent any errors.
Deaths occurring at the St Helier Hospital will be registered with us. However if the death occurred at home, or elsewhere in Sutton, please check that the exact location is within the Sutton district. Deaths must be registered in the district that they occur but as some addresses with a Sutton postcode are not included within our district it is best to check.

Once your appointment has been made you will be given a reference number; please keep this safe as it will be required if you need to contact us to amend or cancel your appointment.
