Still Birth & Re-registering a Birth :

Re-registering a birth :
Why do I need to re-register?
There are two reasons why you may need to re-register your child :
** if you have married the other parent since the birth (even if the natural father’s details were shown in the original registration), you are legally required to re-register the birth to show the new status of both you and your child

** if the birth was registered showing only the mother’s details, the details of the natural father can be added at any time (both parents must attend the re-registration, or a declaration of parentage must be obtained from a solicitor)

How to re-register :
** Re-registration application forms can be obtained from any register office in England or Wales.
** Once completed the form should be taken to the register office in the district where the birth occurred.

Fees :
** There is no charge for re-registration, but you may wish to obtain a birth certificate from the new entry.
** The fee for this is £4.00, or £7.00 if requested after re-registration.
** The fee increases to £10.00 if the register has been completed.

Book an appointment :
** An appointment is required to re-register a birth. Please contact the register office to make an appointment.
