You cannot change a death certificate once it’s been issued – but you can apply for a correction and have a note added to the original entry in the death register. You can then order an updated certificate that shows this note.
Corrections to a death registration can only be made when the information is wrong (for example a mistake in spelling a person’s name).
You sure you read the GOV.UK advice on correcting death registration – as there are no refunds if we are unable to correct the registration.
