Is there a time limit for registering a death, in England, and what is the time

Question:

Is there a time limit for registering a death, in England, and what is the time limit for registering a birth.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Yes within five days of the death. This was reduced from eight days in 1953. A birth should be registered within 42 days (six weeks) this as remained the same since 1837 when civil registration began in the UK. Hope this helps you.
