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

Important note: 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.
