Tell Us Once

You are here: Tell Us Once
Your unique reference number

We understand that following a death there can be a lot to sort out. 'Tell Us Once' is a free service that allows you to report a death to multiple government organisations in one go.

These departments include:

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)
Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)
Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)
Veterans UK - to cancel or update Armed Forces Compensation Scheme payments

HMRC and DWP will contact you about the tax, benefits and entitlements of the person who died.

At the end of the death registration appointment, the registrar will give you a unique reference number that you can use to access the 'Tell Us Once' service online or via phone.
