Registering a birth

If you move out of the area after your baby is born and the register office is too far to attend, you should find the address of the nearest register office.

Here you can give a declaration of the birth details. This declaration will be sent to the register office in the area the birth took place for registration.

Your records will not be held at the register office you made the declaration at.

You will have to get any further certificates from the register office in the area the birth took place.

Please see register office fees.
