Deaths abroad.

Legg inn av Gavin Weaver » 08 jan 2005 18:19:53

Hello,

Can anyone help me with this question.

If someone is born in the UK, but dies abroad, is there a normal Death
Certificate issued? Or is there another certificate issued or something
else done entirely?

Cheers,

Gavin

A lot depends on where the person died and whether the death was

notified at the British Consulate or High Commission.

Dunno what the British practice is, but the US Consular Service issues a
Consular Notification of Death -- nearest US Consulate, local death
certificate, etc. As with births abroad, this is handy because the record
is maintained in a central location (Dept of State in DC) and is available
for a nominal fee.

Since US practices are _similar_ to those of most European countries, I'd
suspect the Brit practice is similar, if not identical.

HTH,
Bob

The death certificate is usually issued in the country where the person died.
Sometimes relatives may notify the consulate of the person't home country, and
the consulate may then take steps to have the death registered in the come
country, but I think such registration is purely voluntary.

PS: don't multi-post: it's rude.

If you want your mesage to appear in different newsgroups, crosspost, then
people only need to reply once.

Sorry Steve, I didn't even know that crossposting existed. As I'm writing
this reply though I can see now at the top of the window that there's two
newsgroups the message is going out to. So I'll do that in future!

Thanks again,
Gavin

Depends on what you mean by "normal."

If you mean, is there a certificate (or one expected) issued by the
jurisdiction that governs the area of death, I would expect so if there is a
body. Most governments are good about this.
