Tell Us Once
When someone dies, you need to notify a number of different government departments and local services with a lot of similar information. The Tell Us Once service makes this process much easier and is free to use.
About Tell Us Once
When you register a death using the Tell Us Once service, the details of the deceased will be added to the Tell Us Once national database, which will help to inform a number of the relevant people and organisations who need to know.
