FAQ
What happens if I don't register the death?
You can't open the estate or collect insurance or pensions, and in the eyes of the government the deceased is still alive. Everything else depends on this certificate.
Why do I need to register the death?
It's the record that proves the death and unlocks the estate, insurance and pensions.
How much does it cost?
The professional fee, from $40, covers the full handling of the registration; official registry fees, if any, are separate.
What do I need to register it?
The medical certificate of death and the deceased's details; we handle the rest.
Is there a deadline?
Yes, and it's best to do it soon; if the deadline has passed, there's a route for late registration.
About this procedure
Losing a loved one is hard enough without also having to battle a procedure. Death registration produces the record that legally certifies the death, and you'll need it for almost everything that comes next: the estate and the inheritance, collecting pensions or insurance, closing accounts, and any dealings with banks or government agencies. Without it, everything the family has to do stalls completely. The death has to be reported soon after it happens, with the medical certificate of death. We handle the procedure with the care the moment deserves: we take care of the registration, check that the details are correct so nothing has to be fixed later, and hand you the death certificate. We want you to be free to look after your family while we look after the paperwork.
