Cause of death certificates
Deaths from 1970 onwards do not show the cause of death. If you want this information you will need to apply for a Medical Certificate of Cause of Death by:
- completing an application form
(Acrobat Reader is needed to open this form - download free copy) - paying the prescribed fee
- providing the appropriate identification
Cause of death will be on a death certificate if the death occurred before 1970.
The Medical Certificate of Cause of Death is not available for Coroner's cases.
