8. WHAT WILL THE REGISTRAR GIVE ME? In the majority of cases the Registrar will then issue:- • The Registrar’s Certificate for Burial or Cremation (this form is green in colour). NB. This form should be handed to your nominated funeral firm, which will hand it to the appropriate authority in due course. • A Certificate of Registration or Notification of Death. This certificate is needed in order to claim benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). • Copies of the entry in the register - on payment of the prescribed fee. NB. Copies of the entry, which are usually required for legal purposes, may be obtained from the Registrar up to six months from the date of registration. After six months copies can be obtained from: The Registrar General, PO Box 2, Southport PR8 2JD • Leaflets on State benefits and Form 48 (procedure for dealing with Wills). It is possible that the DWP Form SF200 will be available for those that may need to make a claim for a Funeral Payment from the Social Fund. Once completed, this form should be taken or sent to your local JobCentre Plus with any pension or benefit books in the deceaseds name, or in joint names. This is also used to assess whether a surviving partner is eligible for benefits such as Widows Benefit. You can download the form on the Department for Works and Pensions website.
