Home Office written question – answered at on 12 October 2015.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will take steps to make the register of deaths of UK residents available online.
Under present legislation, the register of deaths in England and Wales contains details of all deaths which have taken place there, regardless of whether the deceased was a UK resident. Similar arrangements are in place in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Civil registration is a devolved matter.
In England and Wales, information from the register of deaths is made available in the form of a certificate, on payment of the appropriate fee. Currently, there are no plans to change this process.
