The Death Certificate This is a certified copy of the entry in the register of deaths (also known as Original Certified Copies). You may wish to discuss with the registrar how many copies you may require as most banks, building societies and insurance companies require to see an original but do not need one to keep. They will photocopy an original and return it to you. Each certified copy is charged at £11.00. You can order as many as you require and they will be produced and given to you on the day of registration. The Registrar will also give you: • A certificate known as the Green Form - this enables you to proceed and make the funeral arrangements with your chosen funeral director. They may not be able to help you without this form. • A White Form is also given to the next of kin as this acts as a death certificate for the Pension and Benefit Agencies.
