Regulation 11
When the Registrar General of Shipping and Seamen receives a return made pursuant to Regulation 9 he shall send a copy of that return certified by him or a person authorised by him as being a true copy thereof—
where the deceased was immediately before his death ordinarily resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland, to the Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages for Scotland or the Registrar General for Northern Ireland, as the case may be; and
in any other case, to the Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages for England and Wales.
If the Registrar General of Shipping and Seamen is satisfied that there is an error or omission in any return received by him as aforesaid, he may, in accordance with evidence of the true state of affairs relating to the return, send corrected or supplementary particulars in respect thereof to the appropriate Registrar General.
A Registrar General who duly receives any such certified copy as aforesaid shall record information contained therein in the register kept by him called the marine register, together with such additional information as appears to him desirable for the purpose of ensuring the completeness and correctness of the register.
