Birth Registration Update
If your baby was born in Wolverhampton you can register the birth at Wolverhampton Register Office. Visit Book a Birth Registration Appointment and fill in the form provided. You will then be contacted to arrange an appointment.
All registrations have to be carried out face to face. Where possible can we ask:
- Those who wish to appear on the birth certificate be in attendance (if you are married then only one parent needs to attend, if un married the mother must attend and only the partner should attend if they want to appear on the certificate).
- To not bring your new born(s) or other children unless childcare cannot be organised.
- To bring your own black pen to sign the certificate.
- Arrive on time as late arrivals will not be seen and your appointment will need to be re-arranged.
The register office is located at the back of the Civic Centre.
The Civic Centre remains closed. The team are available for pre-arranged appointments only. Ceremonies, notice of marriage appointments and standard certificate applications continue to be deferred.
Please contact us on 01902 551234 or email Register.Office@wolverhampton.gov.uk
Once you register a birth, you can then use this to claim child benefit and any other family-related benefits.
Please note - Free short birth certificates are no longer issued by the registration office.
