How to apply

  • Due to the sensitive nature of stillbirth registrations, the procedure for ordering certificates differs from other types of registration.
  • Registers in current use are held at the local Register Office and only the child's mother or father (if the father's details are included in the entry) can obtain a copy.
  • Certificates from older registers can only be obtained from the General Register Office.
