How to register a death

How to register a death

Should any British national die whilst in Colombia (either resident or visitor), their death can registered at the Consular Section. There is no obligation for the death of British nationals abroad to be recorded in this way. However there are the advantages that a British form of death certificate is then available and that a record of the death is afterwards held at the General Registrar Office in the United Kingdom.

To register the death we require:

-Local Death Certificate

-Evidence of deceased's claim to British nationality (eg Birth certificate. Passport, Certificate of Naturalisation)

-Completed application form: Consular Death Registration Form

-FEE: For information on fees please click here
