Details commonly included on a UK death certificate
Typically a UK death certificate will include the following information:
A death certificate includes the date and place of death, the deceased’s full name, sex, date of birth (or age on older certificates), occupation, address, cause of death, and details about the person who reported the death.
Using a copy death certificate overseas
All certified copies of UK death certificates are valid for use both in the UK and overseas, but foreign officials often require an apostille stamp.
The apostille stamp, issued by the FCDO, verifies the authenticity of the marriage record.
The term “apostille” also translates to “legalised,” which is commonly used by foreign officials.
If there is any uncertainty, we strongly recommend asking the foreign official whether an apostille is necessary. This proactive step can prevent wasted time and money.
You can easily request the apostille stamp when filling out the application form for a replacement death certificate.
