Birth - Re-Registering
You can re-register a birth and provide a change of the baby’s name, add the Father’s details or correct a mistake on the original document.
Most changes should be done within 12 months of the birth, although it is possible to make changes after this date, where often more detailed documentation is required.
Please contact the Registrar using the details on the right to arrange a re-registration. There may be a small fee for this service.
For more information on re-registering a birth, visit the General Register Office website (see the useful websites box on the right).
