Deaths – Historical Searches and requesting copy of death certificate
The register office offers a replacement death certificate ordering service for deaths that occurred in the London Borough of Enfield since 1837
A certified copy death certificate can only be obtained from the Register Office in the district where the event occurred. The applicant must be able to supply the full name at death, date of death and the name of the hospital or address where the death occurred to enable us to search for the required entry. Applications can be made in person at the Register Office or by post.
If you do not have the basic information it may not be possible to locate the entry required and the certificate will not be issued. In this instance, customers are directed to the General Register Office on 01704 569824
Customers can carry out their own general search of our Death Indexes. This is strictly by appointment only and a fee applies.
Eligibility
• Any person can apply for a copy certificate providing they have enough information for us to correctly identify the entry they require.
Required Customer Information
An application form should be completed or a letter form the applicant detailing the following information:
• Name, address and telephone number of the person requesting the certificate;
• Full name at death;

• Correct fee;

Service Level Agreement and Turnaround
Turnaround time varies but we aim to issue certificates within 5 working days from receipt of a written request. At times of high demand the time taken to produce a certificate will increase.
