The registration will take about 15 to 20 minutes, and, by law must be completed within 42 days of the baby's arrival.
However,
A birth must be registered in the district where it occurred. However, you may attend any Register Office in England and Wales to supply the details required for the entry (known as 'registering by declaration').
The registrar will send the details electronically to the appropriate office on your behalf, where the birth will be recorded in the register.
You will need to make payment for the birth certificate direct to the Register Office where the birth took place once the birth has been registered.
The baby's parents must provide the registrar with the following information:
To help ensure the accuracy of the information recorded it would be useful if you could bring supporting documentation with you:
Proof Required | Accepted supporting documents |
Mothers full name, date and place of birth, current or last occupation, and if applicable date of marriage. | Passport or birth certificate and if applicable marriage certificate. |
If fathers details are to be entered into the register the same information is required as that of the mother. | Passport or birth certificate and if applicable marriage certificate. |
If these documents are not available the Registrar can still proceed to register.
You can register the birth of your baby at: Dukinfield Town Hall, King Street, Dukinfield SK16 4la
