yes — in a way Explanation: It means the person who 'informs' or 'notifies' the official bodies of the death — which indirectly does indeed mean they are applying for the death certificate. Once the authorities have been informed, then the certificate will be issued. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 53 mins (2013-10-14 10:19:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ah, I see the real question now! It isn't that "a family member could simply inform the registrar of a death" — naturally this has to be backed up by the doctor's certificate stating time, palce and acuse of death, if known! It is just that the faimly member is expected to do the leg work of submitting this to the registrar — saves a lot of paperwork passing slowly between bureaucratic departments! And of course, the family member is going to need this death certificate in order to be able to deal with all the things that need to be done after a death. It is, of course, a moot point what happens if the family member simply doesn't bother to notify the death; it could take quite some time before the registrar actually got to find out about it by other means. |
