Death registration
Tell us once
When someone has died, there are lots of things that need to be done, at a time when you probably least feel like doing them. One of these is contacting government departments and local council services that need to be told.
Calderdale Council is providing a service which we hope will make things easier. This new service means that you can just tell us and these organisations will be contacted.
Depending on your circumstances the following organisations can be notified:

- Blue Badge Parking Permit
- Carer’s Allowance
- Child Benefit
- Child Tax Credit
- Children’s Services
- Collection of Payment for Council Services

- Identity and Passport Service
- Incapacity Benefit

Information you will need to use the service
To make sure the right information is given to any organisations we contact for you, and so that you get the most out of the service, it will help if you can bring along with you the following information about the person who has died:
- their National Insurance number and date of birth
- details of any benefits or services they were receiving
- their death certificate (you will receive this directly before the Tell Us Once appointment)
- their Driving Licence or Driving Licence number
- their Passport or Passport number.
We may also ask you for information about:
- their next of kin
- any surviving husband, wife or civil partner
- the person dealing with their estate.
You must obtain the agreement of the persons listed above if you are going to provide us with information about them.
