Thank you both. I think I will leave ordering it for now and see if another family member can help me out with an exact age. The person I am trying to get a cert for is my great great grandfather even though the death only occured in 1971.

If a death was registered in the last 50 years you need to put in the age a person was when they died while ordering the certificate.

I have a death registered in the March quarter of 1971 but the persons birthday falls during the three month period that March quarter covers. Should I put down the age that is most likely as his birthday is February 21st?

Anyone had this problem before?
