Registering your Childs Birth.
When you are going through one of the biggest events in your life I am sure the last thing on your mind is the legal requirement of registering the birth of your child, but once the emotions have settled down and you have some resemblance of calm, you will need to register your bundle of joy.
Registration of a Childs birth is a legal requirement under the Births and Deaths act of 1953, the objective being that accurate records are kept and upon registration, you will be issued with a birth certificate, which is important throughout our lives, from travelling abroad to claiming benefits.
Where to register your Childs birth
Quite often this is done at the hospital before you leave, but that’s not always the case, if you are pregnant now it’s worth asking your midwife or at anti natal class, you can also look it up online via the governments website https://www.gov.uk/register-offices
If you cannot get to the correct office you can register at a different one, and the details will be sent on to the correct once by registrar.
As this is a legal requirement you have limits and fines if you fail to register, you must register the birth within 42 days, this is different in Scotland where you only have 21 days, and failure to do so can result in a fine of £200.
Collect the information you need.
You will be asked certain information when registering and it will be wise to make sure you have the following information; most of this is fairly easy.
- The name you have chosen
- date of birth and location
- your details – names and address
- date and location of your births
- your occupation details
- marriage details
If you can also take along some form of identification, your passport, driving licence etc
If either the mother or the father cannot register the birth, it can be undertaken by
- The hospital
- A person responsible for the child or someone present at the birth.
There are situations were omission of information is possible, such as the father’s details, I would recommend you discuss your situation prior to your visit to the registrar.
