Miscarriage

You can get a certificate in memory of your baby if your pregnancy ends before 24 weeks (or 28 weeks if your pregnancy ended before 1 October 1992).

It’s free to get a certificate.

You do not need to request a certificate if you prefer not to. It’s optional.

The certificate is not a legal document - for example you cannot use it to claim benefits. The certificate will not be added to your GP record.

Request a baby loss certificate - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

If your pregnancy ends from 24 weeks onwards, you need to register a stillbirth instead.
