Registration is free for funeral directors.
To register, you need to provide:
- Your details (name, business name and address, contact details)
- Proof of your identity - details from one identity document. It must be a document issued by an Australian government (e.g. passport or driver licence). You don't need to get certified copies.
We will verify your details and identity before we email you your access details.
In larger organisations, more than one member will submit death registrations. These organisations need to nominate a stakeholder representative.
The stakeholder representative will then nominate stakeholder users.
The stakeholder representative will complete the same registration process. This is through the 'Register now' link below.
What you can do online
