I can’t register the death in Staffordshire.
If it is not convenient to register a death in Staffordshire, you can register the death at any Register Office in England or Wales “by declaration.” However, this does create a slight delay as the formal registration can only take place at the Register Office in the district in which the person died. Â Therefore the Registrar you visit must send the information to the Registrar local to the death who will register the death formally, only then issuing the necessary certificates which will be posted to you. Â Only when you have received the “green form” can you give that to the undertaker so he can proceed with the funeral – so there could be a delay.
