Information for your appointment

Our o"ces have limited parking and you will need to
allow time to park and check in for your appointment
on time. Use the link below to check directions to our
register o"ces.

The appointment will be for a minimum of 20 minutes

per child. If you are late for your appointment, you will
not be seen, as there will not be enough time to
complete the registration and you will need to make
another appointment.

If you need to change your appointment, or you are

unable to attend, please call us to reschedule on 0300
200 1002, giving at least 2 working days’ notice.

Who can register the birth?

If the parents were married to each other, or in a civil
partnership with each other at the time of the birth,
only one parent must attend the registration
appointment. Either the mother, father or second
parent can register the birth.

If the parents were not married to each other or in a

civil partnership with each other at the time of the
birth, the father or second parent must attend the
appointment with the mother if their details are to be
included on the registration; if the mother attends
alone, no father or second parent details will be
recorded.

Please note that it is not possible for two male parents

to be recorded on the birth registration. In the case of
two male parents, please call us for advice on 0300 200
1002.

If your child needs to be registered with a Statutory

declaration or a Parental order, please call 0300 200
1002 and ask for the Nominated o"cer at least 2 days
before your appointment for further advice.

How much does it cost?

There is no charge for the registration.

Birth Certi!cates cost £11 per certi!cate and you can

pay at the appointment by debit or credit card. We are
not able to accept cash. The certi!cate is required for
many purposes, such as passport and child bene!t
applications.

Correction charges after registration

You will be asked to check the information recorded by

the Registrar very carefully and then sign the register
to con!rm that it is correct. This is a legal document
therefore it is important that the registration is
accurate. Any correction of errors discovered after the

£90 as well as the cost of replacement certi!cates.

also be helpful for you to bring the following
