Tell Us Once - Notify the Government in a Single Step
Registering a death brings with it a moment of unexpected relief — the Tell Us Once service means you can notify multiple government departments in a single step, rather than making call after call at the worst possible time. We have made this page as straightforward as possible so you can find what you need quickly and move forward with confidence.

The government's Tell Us Once service is genuinely useful — but arriving unprepared can turn a five-minute process into a frustrating one. The service requires specific reference numbers, account details, and personal information for the deceased that many families don't have to hand at the point of registration. Our Tell Us Once Preparation Guide walks you through exactly what information to gather before your appointment, which departments are notified and what each one does next, what happens if something goes wrong or a department needs following up, and the common mistakes that cause delays or missed notifications. It takes the uncertainty out of a process that should be simple — and makes sure nothing is missed.
The Tell Us Once Preparation Guide is included as part of our Property & Administration Pack — alongside The Unoccupied Property Kit and The Identity Theft Prevention Shield. If someone has recently died and left a property, the chances are all three of these apply to your situation right now. The pack is £18.99 for all three documents — less than the cost of a single recorded delivery letter to a bank.
