30. Coroner’s certificate issued after death registration

If the Registrar‑General receives a Coroner’s certificate for a death after the death has been registered, the Registrar‑General must, as soon as practicable after receiving the Coroner’s certificate —

where the death particulars stated in the Coroner’s certificate are not entered in the register of deaths — enter those death particulars in the register; and

where the death particulars stated in the Coroner’s certificate differ from the death particulars entered in the register — alter the record of the death in the register in accordance with the Coroner’s certificate.
