Create an account

There are five types of customer accounts for The Gazette. If you're unsure about which account best suits your needs, or need any further assistance, please contact us.

Account to place a deceased estates notice

Please note: solicitors or chartered accountants placing deceased estates notices should instead create an account as an authorised notice placer.

You can create an account to place a deceased estates notice if you are an executor of a will or a personal representative who is responsible for managing someone's estate.

Placing this notice:

  • demonstrates that enough effort has been made to find creditors
  • protects you from being personally responsible for money owed to any unidentified creditors

Account to purchase from The Gazette Shop

You can create an account to purchase personalised commemorative editions from The Gazette Shop, including:

  • Personal parchments
  • Certificate of records
  • World War One special editions

Account for an authorised notice placer

You can create an account as an authorised notice placer if you are acting in an official capacity with the authority to create an official record of fact. Examples include:

  • insolvency practitioners - who are appointed to place notices relating to personal or corporate insolvency
  • solicitors and chartered accountants - who are appointed to place notices related to personal or corporate insolvency, or who are appointed as the executor of a will
