Other people who can register a birth
In exceptional circumstances, if the parents cannot register the birth (for example, for medical reasons) certain other people can do it:
- Someone who was present at the birth
- Someone who is legally responsible for the child
- A member of the administrative staff at the hospital where the child was born
Please call us on 0345 60 80 198 to arrange to register in these circumstances.
