	Why are some records in the 1939 Register officially closed? Answer: Individuals’ records remain closed for 100 years from their date of birth (100 year rule). Records remain closed for people born less than 100 years ago until proof of death is verified. As more records become open as a result of the 100 year rule, more records will become available to search and view online at Findmypast. Of the 41 million records, approximately 13 million (around 32%) will be closed at publication. The 1939 Register will be updated regularly. If you notice an officially closed record in the 1939 Register that you believe should be open, you may be able to request it be opened.
