Submit a cause of death to BDM

Submit a cause of death to BDM

From the Drafts list:

  1. Check that the draft’s status is ‘Ready to submit’. If not, there are details you still need to provide
  2. Make sure your browser is not blocking pop-up windows
  3. Tick the box next to the draft
  4. Click the Submit button
  5. On the confirmation page, click the Confirm submission and print. This sends the data to BDM and generates a PDF for you to print.

You still need to leave a copy of the cause of death certificate with the body for funeral directors. Funeral directors cannot access the MCCD/MCCPD via their accounts.

No signature needed

Signatures are no longer required on the cause of death certificate provided to the funeral director or submitted to BDM.

BDM verifies your credentials each time you submit a cause of death. This serves as your electronic signature. The certificate contains a statement that it has been electronically signed.
