What is ‘tell us once’ when someone dies?

"Tell Us Once" is a service offered by the government in the United Kingdom that allows individuals to report a death to multiple government organizations at once, rather than having to notify each organization separately. The service is typically used by the next of kin or the executor of the deceased person's estate.

The organizations that can be notified through the service include the Department for Work and Pensions, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, and local authorities, among others. The service is intended to reduce the administrative burden on bereaved families and to ensure that government records are updated promptly and accurately.
