What is Public Records?
Under UK law, Death certificates are known as Public Records which means that any
person can apply for a copy of any certificate, providing that they know the details
of the birth that is required. This can be helpful for both government and legal
services needing proof of Death , as well as family history (genealogy) researchers
looking to discover new ancestors. Please note however that where we believe an
application to be connected with an attempt to obtain information for the purposes
of identity fraud, the application may be rejected and details passed to the relevant
police authority.
