Tell Us Once Service

Your local Registration Service offer a service called Tell Us Once; they can help you inform the people who need to know. The Tell Us Once service aims to reduce the number of local and central government departments that you have to notify when you have had a bereavement. The service is optional but most people who register a death chose to use Tell Us Once. Who can they give information to on your behalf: • Department for Work and Pensions • HM Revenue and Customs • Identity and Passport Services • DVLA • War Pensions Scheme.

If you ask they can also contact: • Housing Benefit Office • Council Tax and Council Tax Benefit Office • Collection of payments for council services • Libraries • Electoral Services • Blue Badges • Adult and Children’s Services.

All information you give them will be kept securely. For further information visit: www.gov.uk/after-a-death/organisations-you-need-to-contact-andtell-us-once
