Who can register? If the parents are married to each other or are in a civil partnership with each other, either one can register on their own. If the parents are not married or are not civil partners with each other, both parents must attend together. If the parent who is registering the birth does not speak English, they must bring someone who is able to translate for them. It is not necessary to bring the baby to the appointment with you. You will need to provide the following information: • Place and date of the baby’s birth • Full name and sex of the baby • Parents’ full names and address/ addresses • Place and date of birth for both parents • Date of the parents’ marriage or civil partnership (if applicable) • Parents’ occupations • Mother’s maiden name (if applicable). Please bring the following documents with you: • A proof of identity for each parent (e.g. passport, birth certi cate, deed poll, driving licence) • Paperwork issued by the hospital proving that the birth has occurred (e.g. any hospital discharge papers).
