Question

How can someone in England obtain a copy of a death certificate in France.

Answer 1

To obtain a death certificate (or "certificat de décès" in French ), you have to contact the City hall (mairie) of the City where the person died, they will send it to you by mail.

You might also be able to make the demand online, depending on the City. Just go there ( https://www.acte-etat-civil.fr/DemandeAc... ) and enter the City name next to "localite", if the city does have an online form, it will take you directly to it after clicking on "poursuivre", if not, it will take you to the city's website where you can maybe find the city hall's address and/or phone number to contact them.

Be aware that you might have to speak French to them since you might not find anybody speaking English (especially in smaller town)

Answer 2

grand theft. Or you can just call whoever is in charge of the death certificate, tell them why you want it, prove you're related, etc, and they'll give you a copy or lend you one or somthing.

Answer 3

You contact (the city.county of death) whatever they call their hall of records - city hall - "Hotel De Ville" and request it.
