NSW Death Certificate Application
NSW
You apply to NSW BDM for an official death certificate. The funeral director normally registers the death within 7 days, then any next-of-kin or executor can buy the certificate. You need a death certificate to close bank accounts, claim insurance, manage super, transfer property and apply for probate.
