If the death occurred abroad, or on a foreign ship or aircraft, you should register the death according to the local regulations of that country and get a Death Certificate.
Deaths outside England or Wales
If the death occurred abroad, or on a foreign ship or aircraft, you should register the death according to the local regulations of that country and get a Death Certificate. Also register the death with the British Consul so that a record of the death will be kept in England. You will be able to get a copy of the Death Certificate from the consulate later or from the Overseas Registration Service.
Depending upon the circumstances of the death, or if the information about the death abroad is incomplete, this may have to be reported to a coroner in the same way as if the death occurred in England or Wales.
