Register a birth

Follow our guide on how to book an appointment to register the birth of your child.

Who can register a birth

If you are married or in a civil partnership, either parent can register the birth. 

If you are not married or in a civil partnership, the father’s details can only be entered if both parents are present at the registration appointment.  

However, in certain circumstances the father's details can be entered into the register without him being present. 

If the birth is to be registered with two female parents please telephone 0151 443 2900 for further advice.

Please contact the office on 0151 443 2900 for further advice and guidance.
