Apply for a death certificate

If you're applying for a death certificate, for a death registered in the last 14 days, please:

  • use the standard death certificate option (£12.50). All applications relating to a recent death are treated as a priority.
  • do not place an order for a certificate until after the death has been registered.

To apply for a copy of a death certificate you'll need the following information to hand:

  • details of the deceased (name, year and place of death)
  • your name, address and contact details
  • payment information
  • reason for request and any other comments to assist with our search

We are only able to accept applications via this site for deaths which took place in Suffolk. To avoid additional cost and inconvenience, please check this point carefully before proceeding.
