"Tell us once" registration service up and running
Published 5 December 2011
A new service that makes it easier to inform central and local government about the death of a person has been launched in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
ISSUED ON BEHALF OF LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL
“Tell us once” means residents will only have to provide details about the person who has died once instead of having to repeat the same information to a number of different agencies.
Leicester City, Leicestershire and Rutland County and Leicestershire’s district and borough councils have teamed up with the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) to launch the service, which will be extended to include births in the New Year.
People who have to register a death also have to inform a wide range of other government services. This can sometimes be time consuming and difficult.
’Tell Us Once’ means people can choose, without charge, to have the registrar pass information on to other service providers such as the DWP, HM Revenue and Customs, the Identity and Passport Office and Housing and Council Tax Benefit Offices.
