The death should be registered in the district where the person died. It is necessary to have an appointment with the Registrar to register the death so you will need to call ahead for a specific time. You will also need to inform the Registrar of the number of copies of the death certificate you require. It is advisable to get more than one depending on how many organisations you think you are going to have to contact regarding the death as they will each want to see a certified copy of the death certificate. So think about the number of companies you are going to have to inform about the death and request an appropriate number of copies to help expedite this formality. They are more expensive if you have to order more at a later date.
