BIRTHS, DEATHS AND MARRIAGES REGISTRATION ACT 2003 - SECT 29
How to apply to register the death of a person
29 How to apply to register the death of a person
(1) An application to register the death of a person must be in the approved
form (a
"death registration application" ).
(2) The application must be given to the
registrar within 14 days after the death, or the death is discovered,
whichever happens later.
(3) However, the registrar may accept an application
given more than 14 days after the death, or the death is discovered, if
satisfied the death happened.
(4) Also, the parent of a stillborn child born
before 1 May 1989 may give the registrar a death registration application for
the child at any time. Note— Also see section 7 (Births that may be
registered in Queensland) for the requirement to register the birth.
(5) If
the person making a death registration application is a funeral director in
Queensland, the person must give the application electronically unless the
registrar reasonably considers— (a) it would be impractical to do so because
the funeral director’s place of business is located in an area that does not
allow for giving the notice electronically; or
(b) other exceptional
circumstances do not allow for giving the notice electronically.
