Registering a birth

If you have moved out of the district after the baby is born and the Register Office is too far away to attend, find the address of the nearest Register Office to you and you can attend there to give a declaration of the birth details. This declaration will then be sent to the register office in the district of birth for registration. The Register Office you attended to give the declaration does not hold any records of that registration. Any further certificates will have to be obtained from the Register Office in the district of birth. Please see Register Office Fees.
