Registering your baby
Information about what you need to do to register the birth of your baby.
What information will I be asked for?
The registrar will ask for the following details:
Child
- the date and place of birth; if the birth is one of twins or triplets, the time of each child's birth will also be needed.
- the sex of the child.
- the forename(s) and surname in which it is intended that the child will be brought up.
Father/ 2nd parent (if their details are to be entered in the register)
- their forename(s) and surname (and any other / previous names).
- their date and place of birth.
- their occupation at the time of the child's birth or, if not employed at that time, the last occupation.
Mother
- her forename(s) and surname (and any other / previous names).
- her maiden surname if she is, or has been, married.
- her date and place of birth.
- her occupation at the time of the child's birth or, if not employed at that time, her last occupation.
- her usual address at the date of the birth.
- the date of marriage, if married to the child's father at the time of the birth.
- the number of previous children.
It is very important that all the information recorded in the birth register is completely correct as mistakes can take quite a bit of time. This is why the person registering the birth should check the information very carefully before signing the register.
