Notify us online
Our online notification form is the best way to inform us of a death. It's quick and easy and should take about 10 minutes to complete.
You'll need to be able to provide some documents and key information when filling in the form, so it's best to have it all to-hand before you start.
After you’ve notified us
We're here to help you through this process every step of the way. Here's what to expect once you've notified us of a death.
Useful information
We understand that taking care of the necessary formalities while you're grieving is a lot to manage. Mourning a loss can make even the smallest tasks seem overwhelming and difficult. So we want to help. Below are some useful documents and links to support you through this process.
‘Tell Us Once’ service
Use the Government's 'Tell Us Once' service to inform several government bodies of a death, in one go. This service will inform HMRC, the Department of Work and Pensions, the Passport Office, the DVLA, local councils and more.
Contacting us
It's quicker and easier to use our online notification tool to notify us of a death. But if you'd prefer to notify us by post or phone, you can write to us at Prudential, Lancing, BN15 8GB, or call 0800 000 000.
