We realise that this is a very difficult time for you. In this section there is information and guidance aimed at helping you through the registration process.

If you do not use the Tell Us Once service to inform the Department for Work and Pensions we will issue form BD8 so you can notify them yourself. This is free of charge.
The doctor or medical professional who issues the medical certificate of cause of death (MCCD) may have mentioned a review of the contents of the certificate. Healthcare Improvement Scotland will independently review a random sample of medical certificates of cause of death (MCCD) which have been certified by a doctor. This means that, if the MCCD you bring in to the registrar is selected for review, there may be a short delay and the registration cannot be completed until the review is finished.
Please refer to Health Improvement Scotland's Q&A page for more information.
